Hi,

is it possible to specify the monitors for the rdp session? I can only select "All Screens". In a .rpd file I can use "selectedmonitors:s:1,2" to select the monitors to display the RDP session.

Thanks

AnTri

Good suggestion, In fact my colleagues have suggested that I support this feature before. But we didn't find any about this feature in the activatex control:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/termserv/remote-desktop-activex-control

The other things is how do we specify which monitors to display? How do the user know the monitor number 1,2 in selectedmonitors:s:1,2? I think it is too hard core to let our user input the 1,2 but I dont have any good idea for this.

I think it would be a function for "experts". To get the monitor number, you can use "mstsc.exe /l" to display a list of monitors and their resolution/number.
In my opinion, this function (to get the monitor numbers) should not be implemented in the program. A textbox with a tooltip for manual input would be sufficient here.

Hi @AnTri in next version, PRM will allow you to customize rdp file options. So that the selectedmonitors:s can be set.
