Hi
I have just updated my project from VS2015 to VS2017 and from DE 15.2 to DE 18.1.
I have noted problems with the start of the client over RDP from a MS RDS Server and further a proposal for an enhancement.
See all details in the attachment…
Regards
Fredy
Hello Fready,
I agree with Brendon that you can use the ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode property. The DevExpress.XtraEditors.Popup.PopupBaseForm.ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode property has been introduced for very specific situations when an application is used as a RemoteApp. Let me explain why this property is necessary.
In some specific situations, our PopupForms are closed in remote applications. The cause of this behavior is the incorrect z-order, and such issues are common. For example, please refer to the RemoteApp program pop-up window is hidden in Windows article for more information. Our developers have researched this behavior and found a workaround for such issues. The fix is to change the current PopupForms' z-order by a timer. So, when you set the DevExpress.XtraEditors.Popup.PopupBaseForm.ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode property to True, it means that every 50 milliseconds, the current PopupForms change their z-order.
I suggest you enable the option when you are using the remote session before your form is shown. For example, you can adjust this property in the Main method.
Hi Brendon and Nadezhda
Thanks for your feedbacks.
I have implemented the setting - it seems to work.
I hope, that the setting don't will have any negative sideeffects (your don't have answered my question) .
Further, please hand out my proposal to the enhancement to the date column filter (see .pdf) to the responsible persons.
Thanks
Hello Fredy,
The ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode property does not affect other options except the z-order. So, no negative side effect should occur.
As for your idea, thank you for sharing it with us. We will keep it in mind.

With regards to your issues when accessing the application via remote desktop, do you still get the pop-up issues if you set the ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode property at runtime?
DevExpress.XtraEditors.Popup.PopupBaseForm.ForceRemotingCompatibilityMode = true;Hi Brendon
I develop with vb.net…
Question:
- Does this setting give some negative sideeffects…?
Where do I have to set this option (is form.load to the main form the right place)?
As soon as I have your answer, I will do a test and give you a further feedback.
Update
Should this "solution" not be better (only active, when over RDP)?
