We are going to use VNC base techniques to transfer screen updates or individual windows. The applications themselves will want on the original host.

I have found PostMessage to work well for clicks and text input so far. However, dragging and controls keys may prove more difficult.

An annoying problem is that PostMessage() works fine in C++/MFC, but when I try it in C#/.NET, it works for keys but not clicks.

I prefer to go with C# easier debugging. If you know anyone who has gotten clicks to work from C# using PostMessage() please post a code snippit.

Thansk for your reply.
