Is library running on Citrix or Terminal Server? – Testing on existence/value of environment variable SESSIONNAME – Solution
Hi Bruno,
I had this code lingering, not used recently:
Register DLL (‘user32′,’GetSystemMetrics’,’AJ’) ;; jf – 21 aug 03
— detect if running under Terminal Server
Call DLL (‘user32′,’GetSystemMetrics’,4096) Returns
lbUsingTerminalServices ;; 4096 = SM_REMOTESESSION
May help you… or point you in a different direction…
regards
