Sending special keystroke to Host (Alt+Ctrl+Del, Alt-Tab, etc.)
Connections via WiseMo Gateway
Mobile device skins

Getting started

The WGuestLib::WGuestX page describes the API of the main WGuest interface. You can also check the source codes of the demo application as an example of how to create and work with the WGuest control. The source code for the demo applications comes with WGuest installation package.

WGuest requires a license key in order to establish the connections via communication profiles other than myCloud. If you purchased the WGuest or requested a trial, you should have received the license key in the delivery mail. Otherwise, request the trial key here: Click This will also give you trial keys and download links for our Host modules (Windows PC, Android and Win Mobile/CE).

If you need further assistance you are most welcome to contact WiseMo: info@.nosp@m.wise.nosp@m.mo.co.nosp@m.m

Please, see Deployment on the web section for information on how WGuest can be used on web site.

User interface and API

Besides of the programming interface WGuest also has the built-in user interface. With built-in UI users can establish connections, configure connection settings, authenticate with remote host etc. Almost all of the WGuest API functions and properties are also available via the built-in UI.

The idea of the built-in UI is to make the component useful in applications or web pages without any additional programming. However the application developers can suppress the built-in UI if they would like to provide their own way of interaction with WGuest control.

Due to security reasons the WGuest control has special limitations for web-based scripting. The control has the list of the trusted sites that can call any method or property without any security limitations. If the site is not in the list of the trusted site, some security restrictions are applied:

After initialization only limited set of the functions and properties are available for scripting. Check the API reference for more information about the security mode for each method or property.
The confirmation dialog is displayed before each connect to a Host, telling the user what is about to happen and asking if he trusts the web page to have unrestricted access to both his own AND the computer mentioned. If the user says "No", there will be no connection and no activity.

It is possible to add the site into the list of the trusted sites using the SiteLockTool.exe utility.
