TCP Screen Capture

[dantay9]

I am trying to make a simple program that can control a remote computer's mouse. I have that Screen Capture events working correctly, but, on the computer sending their screen, I don't think I can use TCPRecv to get mouse events from the computer receiving the screen. I want the Screen Capture to be continuous, so adlib enable, right? But the TCPRecv functions will interfere with each other. I know this could be done with two more programs, one on each computer, but is there a way to include these mouse events in the same script? I hope I made this clear enough.

Edit: I guess I could also open up two sockets in each program, but that is more work. Is that my only other option?

Since nobody has answered, I guess opening up two ports is the best way to keep the script in a single executable. I will use two ports.

"more work" depends on what you already have. It can be done with one socket if you format the data consistently.

Yeah, I know it can be done with one socket, but since I am sending an image about once a second and I also need room for mouse events, I don't think my computer will be fast enough. My computer only runs at 2.1 Ghz.

Is it not possible to send this in binary without saving it to the hard drive???
