# pyQVNCWidget
VNC Widget for Python using PyQt5

## How to install

```bash
pip3 install qvncwidget
```

### TODO:
- Proper error handling `onFatalError`
- support for more than just RAW and RGB32 PIXEL_FORMATs
- support for compression
- implement rfb 3.7 and 3.8
- implement local and remote clipboard

## Examples (see /examples folder)

```python
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow
from qvncwidget import QVNCWidget

class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()

self.setWindowTitle("QVNCWidget")

self.vnc = QVNCWidget(
parent=self,
host="127.0.0.1", port=5900,
password="1234",
readOnly=True
)

self.setCentralWidget(self.vnc)

# if you want to resize the window to the resolution of the
# VNC remote device screen, you can do this
self.vnc.onInitialResize.connect(self.resize)

self.vnc.start()

def closeEvent(self, ev):
self.vnc.stop()
return super().closeEvent(ev)

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
window.resize(800, 600)
window.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())
```

### Example with widget input events

```python
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow
from qvncwidget import QVNCWidget

class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()

self.setWindowTitle("QVNCWidget")

self.vnc = QVNCWidget(
parent=self,
host="127.0.0.1", port=5900,
password="1234",
readOnly=False
)

self.setCentralWidget(self.vnc)
# we need to request focus otherwise we will not get keyboard input events
self.vnc.setFocus()

# you can disable mouse tracking if desired
self.vnc.setMouseTracking(False)

self.vnc.start()

def closeEvent(self, ev):
self.vnc.stop()
return super().closeEvent(ev)

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
window.resize(800, 600)
window.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())
```

### Example with window input events

In this example we are passing input events from the window to the widget

```python
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow
from qvncwidget import QVNCWidget

class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()

self.setWindowTitle("QVNCWidget")

self.vnc = QVNCWidget(
parent=self,
host="127.0.0.1", port=5900,
password="1234",
readOnly=False
)

self.setCentralWidget(self.vnc)

# you can disable mouse tracking if desired
self.vnc.setMouseTracking(False)

self.vnc.start()

def keyPressEvent(self, ev):
self.vnc.keyPressEvent(ev)
return super().keyPressEvent(ev) # in case you need the signal somewhere else in the window

def keyReleaseEvent(self, ev):
self.vnc.keyReleaseEvent(ev)
return super().keyReleaseEvent(ev) # in case you need the signal somewhere else in the window

def closeEvent(self, ev):
self.vnc.stop()
return super().closeEvent(ev)

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
window.resize(800, 600)
window.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())
```
