Remote screen control example

[Timur_Valishev]

Dear Adobe,

Would you be so kind to provide code example for using the remote control feature? Because here http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/acrobatcom/com/adobe/rtc/collaboration/ScreenShareSubscriberComplex.h... methods startControlling() and stopControlling() are not documented.

Thank you!

Dear Adobe!

Please clarify at least in general - is it possible to control the remote screen with LCCS?

Looking forward for your resonse a lot!

It is, yes. ScreenShareSubscriber has a startControlling() and

stopControlling() method. Are you hitting a specific problem with the

functionality?

Hi,

Code sample for ScreenShare controlling. Run a simple subscriber at one end, and code below on a different end to test ScreenShare Controlling.

We would edit the docs to provide more information. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.

Dear aponnusa,

thank you, your example is working! To eliminate confusions for other users, I think it is better to remove onStreamReceived - it is not used through the code -)

Many thanks!

Nigel,

it seems that startControlling() method is not working. I used the *undocumented* requestControlling method instead and it worked -)
