Colonder.
It doubles as a filter AND a calendar component for enterologist offices.

If you don't get over using "2", you will eventually have the same problem again, and you will forget which is the current one.

OMG, you've just reminded me that Microsoft itself is very much guilty of that right in plain ol' Win32. I don't remember what component exactly--something to do with retrieving network configuration data--and they oh-so-wisely chose to append "2" at the end of some function names (and structs) to differentiate them from previous versions (you can't just remove functions from the standard Win32 set without breaking stuff). Someone remembers what I'm talking about, I'm sure, I can't be bothered to look it up right now. I'm pretty sure I also saw a "3"...proving your point.
With names like that, nobody but the original author, who is intimately familiar with the underlying implementation, ever stands a chance of remembering which does what, and you constantly have to go back to documentation. Assuming it exists and is adequate enough to point out the differences.
I absolutely believe in the saying that properly naming things is, indeed, one of the hardest computer science problems.

InternetExplorer as a component: WebView.
Edge as a component: WebView2.
(This is an unresearched posting, but pretty close if wrong)
|
|
|
|

Jeez, I didn't even think about that one, and I've just spent quite a bit of time migrating over an old piece of code leveraging WebView to WebView2.
At least in this case it's pretty clear WebView was built around IE, and WebView2 is the Edge version, and I just "naturally" think about it in those terms. There are components however where you just don't know unless you check the documentation.

Does your programming language support namespaces? Then I‘d stay with Filter but put it in a different namespace. Then you would ‚only‘ need a name for the namespace. During a transition phase you must specify the namespace, if both types can be used in parallel.

Looking for recommendations here...
I'm using Oracle Box VM. When I RDC into it, strange things happen.
First, Copy & Paste no longer works. Not Host to Remote, I'm talking about Copy & Paste INSIDE RDC. Select text, copy -> paste - Nothing.
It's also REALLY slow. I've tried various things like restarting rdpclip.exe. Still can't copy & paste.
If I work through the OracleBox window, everything is fine - except I can only use one monitor. Anyone know of a decent replacement that allows dual monitors?
NOTE: I don't want to TOGGLE between monitors, I want full use of both monitors.
Thanks

I use RDC on a dual-monitor Windows 10 system (left monitor) to connect to a single-monitor Windows 7 system (right monitor). I can copy & paste between the two. Your experience is different, though, correct?

I just now tried that, too, and it works as expected. I was using a couple of Notepad windows.

I use plain old mstsc.exe (the standard RDP client), and it does work with multiple monitors, as long as they're adjacent. The trick is to make sure your .rdp file contains the correct monitor IDs - and they're NOT necessarily the same as those reported by the Display Settings utility. To get the correct monitor IDs mstsc.exe recognizes, run:
mstsc /l
...which will enumerate your monitors (the ID you need) and the resolution and coordinates they're running (that should be your indicator as to which monitor that line represents). In my case, as I'm writing this, it shows monitors 1, 3 and 5 (even though I only have 3 physical monitors hooked up) and based on the resolution shown, I know the correct IDs are 1 and 5.
Therefore, my .rdp file contains the line:
selectedmonitors:s:1,5
You CANNOT set this purely by using mstsc.exe's UI - this has to be done by manually editing the .rdp file with some text editor.
There's other settings that can be written to the .rdp file through the UI (telling it to use multiple monitors, etc). I'm not certain which of the following are necessary, but along with the line above, I also have these, which are probably related:
screen mode id:i:2
span monitors:i:1
use multimon:i:1
Bottom line is, I suggest you enable multiple desktops using the mstsc.exe UI, save the .rdp file, close mstsc.exe, and then manually tweak the content to ensure (a) the 3 lines above are there and (b) adjust the selectedmonitors line based on the IDs you're getting back.
Note that those IDs can change just by rebooting your system. It's annoying, but I don't know of any solution for that. Sometimes "#5" will become "#4", so I have to change that one line. If it goes back to #5, I change it back.
I also use mRemoteNG, but I never tried to get it to use more than one monitor at a time.
A co-worker of mine uses RDCMan from SysInternals, but I don't think it supports multiple monitors (or if it does, it's all-or-nothing).

While I appreciate you taking the time to reply, I'm not sure it answered my post.
When I'm in RDS, Copy & Paste doesn't work (Inside RDC, not Host to Remote. Copy text, past, nothing!), and the whole experience is reallllly slow. I've tried multiple 'fixes' over & over, with no luck. so I'm looking for an alternative.

Sorry, I thought you were focusing on multi-monitor support.
But, I do tend to stick with mstsc.exe, and generally, copy and paste does work.

I see your copy+paste not working and rise it to copy+paste working across users.
I copy something in my session and you can paste it in your session.
That was RDC to a Windows Server 2012... really funny 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I use Multiplicity from Stardock, but it only works with windows. It works either by extending your desktop, or as a regular remote desktop connection (very fast compared to mstsc).

I can recommend mRemoteNG which is a multi-protocol, multi-tab remote client for RDP, SSH, VNC etc.
The current release is quite old, but there are some betas about - results may vary.
Development appears to be in transition, but it works so well that a few quirks are acceptable (e.g. latest beta requires a click in the window to set focus when changing tabs on SSH connections).
Choosing Redirects is easy and includes the clipboard (works perfectly in the same tab, between tabs and between host and client).

Totally off the topic at hand (my apologies). I just had to reply after seeing this tagline. It took me back to my high school days when I was doing exactly the same thing. Toggle switches, RIM loader, BIN loader, yay!

To me I see two parts to the problem and responses only seem to focus on one part. The parts
- Oracle Box VM
- RDC
I presume you are running the VM locally. Not having used VMWare for a very long time I would also wonder what you might have going on in it. So you might want to try a completely different and minimal build. Along with verifying how memory is being mapped. (I can suppose everything is going to be slow if memory in the VM is low.)
Then you might also try using RDC with something completely different also. Also locally.
After localizing the problem to one of those then you could start looking for a solution.

Specially for inhouse connections between Windows machines, I am using TightVNC for years now. Pretty fast and I do work on a lot of headless machines, including constant copy&paste (both text as well as files) all day long. Also including about half a dozen VMs (mostly older Windows XP/7 hosts for software that doesn't exist or is retarded on newer versions of Windows)...
