Mremoteng: RDP using multiple monitors

[ninken]

Is it possible to add a option for Multiple Monitor option for RDP aka "Use all my monitors.." feature?
I understand the ActiveX parameters changes the normal syntax and functionality radically, possible work around making you have additional client type for this functionality...

IMsRdpClientNonScriptable5 _rdpClient = (IMsRdpClientNonScriptable5)((AxMsRdpClient8NotSafeForScripting)Control).GetOcx();
_rdpClient.UseMultimon = true;

Microsoft...

Multiple monitor support would be fantastic!

Any update yet on this?

@heyfrank No ETA at this time.

All releases leading up to the current 1.75.7005 were focused on stability with the occasional feature request where possible. The 1.76 release is getting a security focus.

While this feature may possibly easy to implement, it may take some time to test. So we don't have it scheduled currently.

Reference API documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff817569(v=vs.85).aspx

Adding tags for visibility in case anyone would want to give it a whirl and submit a Pull Request. Most changes would need to be in Connection.Protocol.RDP.cs

[kmscode]

I would assume that these properties would also be useful:
RemoteMonitorCount: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff817567(v=vs.85).aspx
RemoteMonitorLayoutMatchesLocal: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff817568(v=vs.85).aspx

Two months later. Any update in the meanwhile? How would I proceed with implementing the change myself? Do you have some idea which UI controls we need to add? What is the flexibility that the RDP 7 API is giving us? Do we need to have some flexible mapping going on? I.e. 4 physical screens available, while we only want to provide screen 3 and 4 towards the RDP session.

Please check out this pull request https://github.com/mRemoteNG/mRemoteNG/pull/629 which implements multi-monitor support

Any news about this feature?

Any news here? Dual monitors would be awesome

Ok, looks like this feature is hard to implement at this point: https://github.com/mRemoteNG/mRemoteNG/pull/1150

Would be very useful for this COVID crisis to have multiple monitors!

This is the work around "sort of" that you can use today, granted it won't pass in your username or passwords from mRemoteNG, but you have windows remote desktop save those settings. Again this is only good if you only have to connect to that PC with one account name.

You are adding a external tool, with some command line parameters.

@ninken
Are you able to provide any more details on how to use the external tool once it's been created?
Thank you

EDIT: Disregard, you were perfectly detailed and I needed to double check my spelling.

Any plans on adding this feature?

[SysAdminDoc]

I'm eager for this feature as well. Looks like it's a difficult fix.
