You probably should consider Windows Desktop Sharing. Start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb968809(v=vs.85).aspx.

Thanks a lot Viorel_!

i've considered this interface,

but it works only on vista and higher OS;

and my software should run on windows XP/200x/Vista/Win7,

i considered netmeeting too, but it doesn't work on win7.

maybe i should shot screen and transport pictures self..

Hi 劉斌,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Based on your description, your issue is about Remote Desktop APIin Microsoft SDKs, so I’d like to move this thread to Microsoft SDK for better support, since here is for C++ general.

Thanks for your understanding.

Regards,

You can use netmeeting on XP and switch to RDS on Vista or higher - or develop your own desktop sharing solution like gotomeeting or logmein.
