Stuart, I have compiled a version that will flash a message indicating a
successful vnc connection has been made. The popup dialog lasts for 8
seconds (my lucky number I guess) during which time the vnc connection is
halted (remote viewer cannot yet see desktop.)
* user on the server has the opportunity to click "REJECT" to deny the
connection
* user on the server has the opportunity to click "OK" to accept the
connection
* user on the server has the opportunity to hit the Esc key to accept the
connection
* if the dialog times out, the connection goes through (I default to
allowing the connection because we usually are vnc'ing into an unmanned
workstation.)
If you are familiar with coding and have access to Visual Studio I will send
you the two new files (a .ccp and a header), and the dialog resource if I
can figure out how to do that. Otherwise I can zip up the whole source
(with my changes) or just send you the binary "WinVNC-alert.exe".
