[Qform-general] PC Anywhere with QForm

[Jeremy K. <jkr...@ya...>]

Hello,
 
I downloaded and installed QForm and it worked great! Thanks a lot.  
 
One problem though... When I try to access QForm over PC Anywhere, the screen does not refresh properly.  I have to click another window (or minimize QForm) and then bring the focus back to QForm in order to get the screen to refresh sometimes.
 
I went to PC Anywhere's website and I found the following entry in their knowledge base at http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/pca.nsf/9f19833cbd7241aa85256758005492c7/9bb0305846f05ec48825694400611a01?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam
 
Java or ActiveX application on host does not refresh its video when controlled by remote 

Situation:
When you have remote control over a host that is running a specific Java or ActiveX application, the host screen does not refresh correctly. If you do not run the specific Java application on the host, then the screen is refreshed correctly.

Solution:
Some Java and ActiveX applications use video caching to display graphics. This technique renders the video outside of the computer's video driver control. Because pcAnywhere monitors only the host video driver for video activity, any video processes rendered outside of it is not sent back to the remote. This effectively prevents the remote user from seeing what is occurring in the Java or ActiveX application. In cases such as this, the only real solution is for the developer to rewrite the software to not use video caching.

Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there any chance that this would be changed in the program?  I really love the tool but it is a real pain to get the screen to refresh.  

By the way, I mainly use the program over a PC Anywhere connection.

Thanks!
