I have created just such an app using MSRDP.OCX The user starts up my VFP application locally and on clicking a button I open a RDP session and open another application that now runs on TS within that window. The user cannot run any other application in the TS session. Once they quit my app they are logged off.

Some code...

WITH ThisForm.bbRDP
* bbRDP is the MSRDP.OCX object dropped on my form and sized.
* most properties are self explanatory.
    IF .Connected = 0
        .Server = "MyServerName"
        .Object.UserName = "MyDomain\"+"MyUsername"
        .AdvancedSettings2.ClearTextPassword = "MyPassword"
        .SecuredSettings.FullScreen = .T.
        .SecuredSettings.StartProgram = "MyappPath+MyApp"
        .SecuredSettings.WorkDir = "MyWorkingDirectory"
        .Visible = .T.
        .ConnectingText = "Now connecting"
        .DisconnectedText = "Your session has ended"
        .Connect
    ENDIF
ENDWITH

You can set the .Width and .Height if not full screen. This can be added to the OnConnected Event of the RDP object.


Check out the other events like the OnDisconnected which you can hook into.
