Forwarding desktop notifications?

[shmerl]

I'm not sure if it's possible or not, but it can be useful to forward desktop notifications from the remote session in freerdp to the local desktop where the client is running. Is such idea feasible to implement or it's something that needs support from the protocol itself?

not sure if there is anything already defined, but you can create a RDP channel to forward stuff from the server to the client (that would also work with mstsc for that matter) (also would be interesting to know if you are talking about remote app mode or desktop session in that context)

I'm wondering if it already exists a channel for that also not documented by microsoft, we've seen things in that sense when doing some reverse engineering on last mstsc dlls.

What is the difference? I simply run wlfreerdp in a window.

Microsoft::Windows::RDS::Notify maybe. At least that one exists and MS Windows RDS on Win11 tries to open that one (and that DVC is not documented).

Former is RAIL, latter is normal headless session. But since you mentioned wlfreerdp and wlfreerdp does not support the former, it is in your case a desktop session.

Is there some way to experiment / test it? How can I try such channels?

I'd say it's better to keep this opened? It's a valid feature to have.
