Hello All,

It's very difficult finding developers forums for the netmeeting sdk, so I'm
trying my luck here.

My question is, "Is there a programatic way to share the desktop". I don't
mean use the sdk the pop up the standard app share dialog. I know I can do
that to show list of shareable apps you can choose, one of which is the
desktop. I mean a way to do it silently without the dialog.

I am currently able to use the EnumSharableApp method to get an enumeration
of all shareable apps on a channel. And once I get an app from the
enumeration, I can use the setstate method to share it. The problem is, the
desktop is not one of the shareable apps returned in the collection. MSFT
seems to have a way of doing this as illustrated in their own app sharing
dialog, they just don't seem to allow access to it in their sdk. Not even
their sample app exercising the appshare apis is able to return the desktop
in this manner. Any ideas?

Tbe designated forum for the sdk is:

microsoft.public.internet.activex.conferencing.sdk

but there is probably less activity/interest there than here.

Sorry I am not much help -- but if you post in sdk forum perhaps you will
get some takers.
