This program is designed to allow relative input in an RDP (VNC) session by wrapping an existing remote desktop client window with another window and sending the client's input information using an SSH session. Currently, only sessions from a Windows machine to a Windows or Linux machine are supported.

If you are going to use this for connecting from Windows to Windows via RDP (RemoteDesktop), RDPRelativeInput is available!
This program is easier to install and use.

Hint

If you are willing to connect to windows host from windows client via RDP(RemoteDesktop), you can use this:

github.com/TKMAX777/RDPRelativeInput

However, if you are trying to connect from Windows (ARM64) or you are using VNC protocol, still you have to use this program.

These are the usage:

1. Open Remote Desktop Connection (or VNC client) and connect to your server like usual.
2. Open cmd and start the server program on the host machine.

start /d "C:\Users\<HostFolderName>\go\bin" RelativeInputServer.exe

☆ replace <HostFolderName> with the name of the folder of your account located inC:\Users

3. Starts a SSH session from the client machine on cmd.

set CLIENT_NAME=<CLIENT_NAME> RelativeInputClient.exe | ssh <HostUsername>@<HostAddress> "C:\Users\<HostFolderName>\go\bin\RelativeInputTransferer.exe"

☆ replace "<CLIENT_NAME> with the title of your VNC or RDP client window
☆ You can make it empty if you cannot find it. In this time, window selecter will appear.
☆ replace <HostAddress> with the IP of your host
☆ replace <HostFolderName> with the name of the folder of your account located in C:\Users
☆ replace <HostUsername> with the Host username
☆ It is reported that it does not work properly in PowerShell.

4. Ignore the message box and click on cmd tab, and enter host user password
5. Press Yes in the message box displayed on the host machine.
6. Press OK in the message box displayed on the client machine.
7. Enjoy!

This program uses Graphics Capture API on the windows host computer.

In a remote desktop connection, the cursor on the host side is normally not displayed. However, the GraphicsCaptureAPI allows the cursor to be displayed, so this program creates a button which can turn this feature on and off and captures that window.
