Force 24 bit color depth???

[Guest dan.lebaron@gmail.com]

I'm currently running Windows Server 2003 and using the Terminal

Server

Advanced Client for web based access. How can I force the web based

users

to connect with a 24-bit color depth? This is not working, any

ideas???

 

I am running CODEBASE="msrdp.cab#version=5,2,3790,1830"

 

and have added the follwoing to the code:

 

'Device redirection options

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = TRUE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters = TRUE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPorts = TRUE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectSmartCards = FALSE

MsRdpClient.ColorDepth = 24

What color depth is configured on the terminal server and in Group Policies?

These have higher priorities than client configurations. This means if TS

Configuration says 16 bit color depth, you cannot force 24 bit through

client configuration.

I have under tscc.msc forced 24 bit with the selctor box. Any other

ideas?

I figured it out. There was a bad line in my code that was killing

the forced 24 bit action.

Good to know, because I didn't have any good idea what could be the error.
