Hello,

My application is operated on a computer that can be controlled locally or
remotely, with RealVNC (Virtual Network Connection).
I want some options to be disabled when it's being controlled remotely.
RealVNC is using port 5900. Is there a way I can monitor with VBA than this
port is busy? Can you advice other options and solutions?

Avi

I would not rely on the port. I would check whether RealVNC is running
or not.

Something like this:

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your reply.

I haven't tried your solution yet, but I'm afraid it will show that Realvnc
is running regardless being used or not, as Realvnc on the hosting computer
is acting as a server, waiting to be remotely connected trough port 5900.

I will try your solution and let you know about the results.

Dear Stefan,

It works great!

As I assumed, the offered solution pinpointed that Realvnc is constantly
running, acting as a server. But, when a remote computer connected to the
station, another Realvnc exe file added, and it is the one I need to monitor.

Many thanks!

Avi
