I was just wondering if it's possible (even with a third party software) to pass the touchpad gestures from a laptop running windows 10 to a pc (no touchpad available) using RD.
I`m interested especially in passing the swipe with four fingers gestures( the one that switches between desktops)
Thanks
try installing synaptics drivers(even if there is no touchpad) on the Remote Machine
btw
you can always use shortcut keys
check virtual desktop section on

I have recently started to have a deeper look into Wi-Fi Direct under Windows 10 (desktop version) and had a look into the API descriptions
from Microsoft => https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn457945(v=vs.85).aspx
One of the described methods there (WFDStartOpenSession) states that a previous pairing through the "Windows Pairing experience" (WPS ?) is required.
So i started to play a little bit with the pairing stuff by using a Windows 10 (Build 1607, Desktop) together with an Android-based smartphone (version 6.0.1) and
made the following observations:
When i initiate the connection from my PC to the phone, it "basically" works i.e. the pairing dialog shows up on the phone's display and i can connect to it.
Although it works, it's not really stable in my opinion - on my side it works 1 out of 3 times.
After ~ 30 seconds, Windows disconnects from the phone (in the "Devices and printers" view) while the phone itself stays connected a little longer (then it also disconnects).
When i initiate the connection from my phone to the Windows PC, nothing happens - no message box, no pop-up window :-(
Has anybody else seen this or similiar behavior ?
I tried it with 2 different USB adapters, one with a RTL8723BU chipset from Realtek and the other one with a RT5572 chipset from Mediatek Ralink - both show
exactly the same behavior.
In addition, i noticed that the "Realtek Wireless Lan Utility" to control and configure the USB adapter is not working anymore in Windows 10 (1607) when switching
from client to Access Point mode. I think it's somehow related to ICS, missing hosted network support ... don't know yet.
However, actually you don't need the tool from Realtek as you can for example use the mobile hotspot feature of Windows 10 to share your internet connection with your devices.
But without the Realtek tool i have not found any possibility to switch WiFi channels - does anybody have the same problem ? is there are solution available for that ?
Thanks
I'm trying to use Microsoft's Remote Display Control (version 2.03, copyright 2000) to view my Windows CE device on the desktop (not only is it nice for my "regular" handheld device, because it makes the display easier to see, especially in zoom mode, but it is even more important for the other devices I have to test, whose screen is too dim for me to make out exactly what's on the screen (it's like the vision test from h311) - which is necessary for debugging, of course) but for some reason I am not able to enter key strokes on the device while it's connected to the desktop. I can enter them neither on the desktop/in RDC nor on the handheld device itself while connected via RDC.
This, of course, is untenable (no pun intended).
The .exe is created in XP Mode, copied to a "holding tank" in Windows Explorer on the Windows 7 machine, then copied from there to the handheld device.
Then I connect from the handheld device by selecting Start > Programs > cerdisp > selecting OK in the "Remote Display Control" dialog, then Connect, then OK (and I do connect), then run the app on the desktop in the "WindowsCE" window that RDC supplies. It allows me to select menu items, but the keyboard is broken/mute...???
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? The desktop is a Windows 7 machine.
Doing a "cold boot" of the handheld device caused it to come back to responsiveness, keyboard-wise. These devices are betimes more peckish than a put-upon puddle of Platypi.
It looks like most existing remote PC solution using bluetooth-enabled smartphone needs PC side software (especially Java..)
I'm wondering if remote PC control is possible without PC side software at all?
Yes, it is. I once tried Bluetooth remote control with a Sony Ericsson K770i and it worked really great! All you need is a Bluetooth receiver installed on the PC and you need to pair your PC with your mobile phone. Then you can set the phone to control the PC and voila.
I tried this on Windows Vista x86. Worked really great. It was a pleasure to be able to control the PC from my bed when I was sick. Plus, I could bind shortcuts like "Ctrl+C", "Ctrl+V" to certain keys on the mobile phone. The K770i had it all.
It's a bit annoying having to deploy to a device everytime to test multitouch functionality so I was just wondering if it's possible to fake the second finger. Obviously plugging in two mouse's doesn't help...
There's no out of the box support for this at the moment, but there are some options you can look into for this.

In addition to the links from Mick N, you may also want to have a look at the MultiTouch Behavior for Windows Phone 7. As this includes support for simulating multiple touches with the emulator and a single mouse while testing.
I'm writing some code to handle WM_GESTURE and WM_TOUCH events in Windows 7, but I can't figure out how to test it. I do my development in Boot Camp on a 17" Mac Book Pro.
So far, I have determined that the Boot Camp trackpad driver in Windows 7 does not generate those events, and this generic trackpad I found on Amazon.com that claims to be 'multi-touch' works as advertised, but not by creating WM_GESTURE or WM_TOUCH events. I verified this by using Spy++ to report the events; nothing with the WM_GESTURE or WM_TOUCH value was reported.
What kind of hardware is supposed to generate these kinds of events? At this point, I'm assuming it's only for tablet or mobile (Windows CE) hardware, but I'd appreciate any other suggestions.
I suppose there's another way to approach this -- I want to get functionality similar to Cocoa's [NSResponder swipeWithGesture:] and related methods, which report back swipes, rotation, and other gestures on the trackpad. WM_GESTURE appears to be the equivalent on Windows 7.
An other option, which would require only another physical mouse device to work with, and should get you at least 95% of the way there is the Multi-Touch Vista project, which can emulate up to 256 touch points using physical devices - thus the need for an extra mouse, or two since it can be awkward to simultaneously work with a mouse in one hand and trackpad with another.
There are several monitors out there supporting touch with Windows 7. For example: Acer T230H.
HTH
Wacom makes several touchpads that support multitouch; a particularly inexpensive version is the Bamboo Touch. This gives you touch without having to buy another monitor - although it doesn't give that direct interaction feeling.
