Citrix Server sort of app - on a Mac?

Does anyone know of a similar product to Citrix Server that'll run on the Mac OS? Essentially, I'm looking to allow multiple remote users to log in to the same OSX Server at the same time (with full visual desktop, not SSH). ...

Launch Local Mail Client from App Hosted on Citrix

I have a desktop application (Windows Forms) which my client hosts on a Citrix server. I would like to launch the user's locally configured mail client to send mail from my application. How do I do this? In addition to this, I will need to attach a file to the email before it is sent. ...

Problem: .NET code runs from one directory, but not another, on same disk

Our application is a hybrid Win32 unmanaged application and a .NET 2.0 managed application. The Win32 part is the main executable, which at some point loads and hosts the .NET 2.0 runtime and loads some managed modules to open new winforms windows. We've had our share of CASPOL-type problems, but today we have a very odd problem and I'm...

Windows clipboard CRLF/LF passing wrong for one user

We have a pair of applications. One is written in C# and uses something like: string s = "alpha\r\nbeta\r\ngamma\r\ndelta"; // Actually there's wrapper code here to make sure this works. System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(s, true); To put a list of items onto the clipboard. Another application (in WinBatch) then picks u...

Citrix - how to keep smartclient apps from re-downloading every time they are launched

Our company uses Citrix to remote into a terminal server for remote users to launch smart client apps within a virtual window on their machine. The problem is that smartclient apps are being downloaded each time the user launches them eventhough the version on the remote citrix server has not change. This is due to the user's profile b...

Determine if a program is running on a Remote Desktop

Is there a way my program can determine when it's running on a Remote Desktop (Terminal Services)? I'd like to enable an "inactivity timeout" on the program when it's running on a Remote Desktop session. Since users are notorious for leaving Remote Desktop sessions open, I want my program to terminate after a specified period of inacti...

What is the difference between: image/x-citrix-pjpeg and image/pjpeg

Some files are uploaded with a reported MIME type: image/x-citrix-pjpeg They are valid jpeg files and I accept them as such. I was wondering however: why is the MIME type different? Is there any difference in the format? or was this mimetype invented by some light bulb at citrix for no apparent reason? ...

What are the basics one needs to know when porting an application to Citrix?

I've developed an application (C#) that currently sits on a a number of workstations. Each workstation accesses the same database (MS-SQL). I've been asked to port this to Citrix. Can anyone offer insight into documentation or suggestion of where someone would start with this? Is the application installed on the Citrix server and the...

Is an SSH tunnel through Citrix Client possible?

I know it is not strictly a programmer question, on the other hand, I would really like to be able to do a simple svn up on the production servers, which would save us a lot of hassle. Or production servers are within a corporate network, and access is only allowed through a gateway server. From that we can access the actual servers via...

Detect citrix "application mode"?

Forgive me for probably using the wrong term for this "application mode". Our application has a problem during start in that it doesn't show a task bar icon until the main window is up, even though there are loading progress windows, logon-windows, etc. on screen before that. We change the code to fix this, but unfortunately this fix, ...

setting volume in Citrix

Hi, I am trying to use the Windows API call 'waveOutSetVolume' from my application to change the windows volume. When ran on locally on a machine it works great. However, when ran on through a Citrix client, it does nothing. What am I missing? ...

System Recommendation for Running Citrix Server for 100 MS Office users

Hi I need to find out what would be a recommended Citrix Server setup (memory, cpu and network hardware) for up to 100 users (both LAN and WAN) concurrently. They will be using the server mainly for the following purposes: running MS Office (mainly 10-15 MB Excel files) exporting/importing data to/from a SQL database on another serve...

Programmatic data input/output to citrix application

I have written a script which is a pretty brutal hack using a language called AutoIt. Essentially it screen scrapes and sends keys to mimic a user moving throughout the citrix app (it's a 25+ year old dos app). It works relatively well, however it does need a lot of babysitting. I am planning on re-writting it in C#, however I'm hopin...

Why would Cint("1") fail?

I'm attempting to deploy a WinForms app in a Citrix environment. It's been working reliably for some time on other physical and virtual machines, but it's failing, only when running the application on a Citrix desktop. The failures are typically where we have mixed-type data as strings in a general-purpose settings table in the (SQL Se...

How do I code Citrix web sites to use a Secure Gateway (CSG)?

I'm using Citrix's sample code as a base and trying to get it to generate ICA files that direct the client to use their Secure Gateway (CSG) provider. My configuration is that the ICA file's server address is replaced with a CSG ticket and traffic is forced to go to the CSG. The challenge is that both the Citrix App Server (that's prov...

UI Automation in Citrix

I would like to be able to use a tool like WatiN to automate somethings that needs to interact with a Web App that is access by using an instance of IE running on Citrix. So far it seems impossible to interact with the window at even a rudimentary level using SendKeys as the internal UI components seemingly do not have a handle. Has an...

Crystal Sub-reports on Citrix

We've got a Crystal Report (v8.5 - yes I know it's old!), with contained sub-reports, that gives problems when attempting to run on Citrix (by one of our customers). This appears to be because the sub-reports retain a hard-coded reference to the location of the original Access database at design time. The latter is, for example, locate...

Memory handling by a 64bit Citrix server running instances of a 32bit app using WoW64

Can a 64bit Citrix server running a 32bit app through WoW64 handle just as many instances/users as the 32bit Citrix server equivalent? And if so if I up the memory in the 64bit server will the number of instances/users scale too? Or are there some strange memory considerations with a 64bit server running a 32bit app? ...

No system tray ToolbarWindow32 window handle when running in (64bit) citrix

We have written a C# command line app that gets run as the first step in a script that is executed when users launch our CRM system on citrix (it is a published app). The purpose of the command line is to find the outlook icon on the system tray and hide it. We do this via PInvoke calls to various WIN32 methods and it works great when ...
