Please see the attached video - there are various issues with popup/drop-down controls on that only occur when in a Remote App session. If run under a Terminal Server (RDP) session or directly on a local PC it works fine.
This is super urgent!

Hello,
To avoid this behavior, I suggest you enable the DevExpress.XtraEditors.Popup.PopupBaseForm.ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode option as described in the The popup form is shown below its parent form if the RDP-server is used thread. Please try this approach and let me know if it works for you.
Hi Nadezhda,
This workaround did not work. See the attached video which shows the issue under RemoteApp and the issue not being there when the exe is executed directly in a terminal server session.
I added the suggested line to the Main form of my application:
//__________________________________________________________________________
public MainForm() {
DevExpress.XtraEditors.Popup.PopupBaseForm.ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode = true;
InitializeComponent();
etc.
//___________________________________________________________________________
Cheers - Gerard
Hello Gerard,
Thank you for the video. As far as I can see, a login form is shown first when your application is run. However, according to the code you provided, the ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode property is set in the MainForm's constructor. Would you please ensure that your login form is shown after the ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode property is set to True? If not, please try setting it in the login form's constructor and let me know if this approach helps.
Did the solution help this client?
It did not with our product.
I've been searching for a solution for six months now and I'm on the bridge of a depression.
It is mentioned that the main issue is with Microsoft but still customers with our old version (devexpress v15) never mentioned the issue en after the upgtrade of our product to v18.1 the issues were mentioned by our customers.
with terminal server or local on a server (RDP) there is no issue. Only when the tool is statred as an Remote App.
Do you have other threads or customers mentioning this issue and/or helped them getting it solved?
Many thanks in advance.
I will start a new thread if needed, just let me know.
Sorry, forgot to follow up on this. Yes, the above solution did fix our particular problems with Remote App.
