Thinstuff Xp Vs Terminal Server For Windows Crack Extra Better ((link)) [2026]
On this page I show how to make a calendar and date picker on an Excel userform using VBA only and no ActiveX.
This is how it looks in the Danish version of Excel 2003:
In the U.S.A (English), where the first day of the week is Sunday and not Monday, the "day labels" from left to right will be SU, MO, TU, WE, TH, FR and SA, and February 1st 2016 will be in the second column, below MO.
In other words it is sensitive to the system's language and first day of the week settings. The possible date formats are also based on the system settings.
By using VBA only and no ActiveX you avoid compatibility problems, because different MS Office versions use different ActiveX controls for calendars.
You can use the calendar to select (up to) two dates for whatever purpose you want. The selected dates are put in two labels, and if you click one of these labels, you can copy the date to a cell or a range of cells.
I show and explain some of the macros below, but I cannot show them all. If you want to see the rest, you can download a zip compressed workbook with the example.
The workbook was updated with a minor bug fix February 26th 2017.
The calendar is on a userform (see image above) with a frame, labels, combo boxes and command buttons.
For event handling (when the user selects a date) the calendar uses a simple class module instead of writing a click procedure for each and every date label.
Of course it also uses quite a few date functions like getting the first day of the week, first day of the month, weekday names in the user's language, checking for leap year etc.
I am a lousy designer, so change the userform's look as you like; but unless you change the code, the labels for date picking must all be in Frame1.
The Collections
There are two public collections declared in Module1: colLabelEvent and colLabels, and the calendar's date labels are members of both collections.
colLabelEvent is a collection of the event handler classes for the labels, and colLabels enables us to change the properties of each label like e.g.:
colLabels.Item(variable for label name).Visible = False
We'll get back to the event handling class - it is really not complicated.
The userform's Initialize procedure
A userform's Initialize procedure executes before the form opens, and below you can see how it looks in the calendar userform.

Legitimate Thinstuff developers quickly release updates to maintain compatibility with new Windows patches. Cracked software cannot be updated.
Terminal Server, now rebranded as Remote Desktop Services (RDS), is a Windows-based solution that enables multiple users to access Windows desktops and applications remotely. RDS allows users to connect to a central server, which hosts the Windows sessions, and access applications and desktops as if they were running locally. RDS offers a range of features, including session management, load balancing, and security.
Purchasing a license gives you access to official support and updates, ensuring stability. 5. Why Native RDS is "Better" (Than Thinstuff) RDS allows users to connect to a central

If budget constraints are tight, look into open-source or highly affordable remote management tools that do not modify the Windows kernel, such as: reliance on third-party updates
Cracked remote desktop binaries modify delicate, un-exported system APIs. When Windows Update pushes a security patch targeting components like termsrv.dll , the cracked software breaks immediately.
In today's fast-paced business environment, remote access to Windows applications and desktops has become a necessity. Two popular solutions for delivering Windows applications and desktops to remote users are ThinStuff XP and Terminal Server (now known as Remote Desktop Services). Both solutions have their pros and cons, but which one is better suited for your organization's needs? In this blog post, we'll compare and contrast ThinStuff XP and Terminal Server, highlighting their features, benefits, and drawbacks. potential compatibility issues with Windows updates.
| Component | Cost (approx.) | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | $500–$6,000+ | Cost depends on edition (Standard/Datacenter) and number of cores | | RDS CALs (per user or device) | ~$150 per CAL | Each user or device that accesses the server needs a CAL | | Total for 10 users | ~$2,000–$3,000 | Rough estimate for a small deployment | | Total for unlimited users | $10,000+ | For larger environments, costs escalate quickly |
Comparing to a cracked Windows Terminal Server (Remote Desktop Services) reveals significant differences in cost, security, and legal compliance. While "cracks" attempt to bypass Microsoft’s licensing, they introduce severe risks that professional solutions like Thinstuff are designed to avoid.

Not native to Windows, reliance on third-party updates, potential compatibility issues with Windows updates.
The Initialize procedure ended by calling the LabelCaptions procedure passing two arguments, namely the present month and year.
The LabelCaptions procedure does several things that determine the look of the calendar, and it is called every time the user changes month or year.
It checks stuff like the number of days in the month, where to put the first date according to the first day of the week, it finds the first day of the month and more. Here is how it looks:
Sub LabelCaptions(lMonth As Long, lYear As Long)
Dim lCount As Long
Dim lNumber As Long
Dim lMonthPrev As Long
Dim lDaysPrev As Long
Dim lYearPrev As Long
sMonth = MonthName(lMonth)
lSelMonth = lMonth
lSelYear = lYear
Select Case lMonth
Case 2 To 11
lMonthPrev = lMonth - 1
lYearPrev = lYear
Case 1
lMonthPrev = 12
lYearPrev = lYear - 1
Case 12
lMonthPrev = 11
lYearPrev = lYear
End Select
lDays = DaysInMonth(lMonth, lYear)
lDaysPrev = DaysInMonth(lMonthPrev, lYearPrev)
If lSelYear >= 1900 And lSelMonth > 1 Then
lblBack.Enabled = True
ElseIf lSelYear = 1900 And lSelMonth = 1 Then
lblBack.Enabled = False
End If
If bCmbSel = False Then
cmbMonth.Text = sMonth
cmbYear.Text = lYear
End If
lFirstDayInMonth = DateSerial(lSelYear, lSelMonth, 1)
lFirstDayInMonth = Weekday(lFirstDayInMonth, vbUseSystemDayOfWeek)
If lFirstDayInMonth = 1 Then
lStartPos = 8
Else
lStartPos = lFirstDayInMonth
End If
lNumber = lDaysPrev + 1
For lCount = lStartPos - 1 To 1 Step -1
lNumber = lNumber - 1
With colLabels.Item(lCount)
.Caption = lNumber
.ForeColor = &HE0E0E0
End With
Next
lNumber = 0
For lCount = lStartPos To lDays + lStartPos - 1
lNumber = lNumber + 1
With colLabels.Item(lCount)
.Caption = lNumber
.ForeColor = &H80000012
End With
Next
lNumber = 0
For lCount = lDays + lStartPos To 42
lNumber = lNumber + 1
With colLabels.Item(lCount)
.Caption = lNumber
.ForeColor = &HE0E0E0
End With
Next
End Sub
Below is the function that finds the number of days in the selected month. It is quite simple.
Function DaysInMonth(lMonth As Long, lYear As Long) As Long
Select Case lMonth
Case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12
DaysInMonth = 31
Case 2
If IsDate("29/2/" & lYear) = False Then
DaysInMonth = 28
Else
DaysInMonth = 29
End If
Case Else
DaysInMonth = 30
End Select
End Function
There are more procedures handling user actions like changing month or year using the month or year combo boxes. That is more or less trivial stuff, and you can see the code, if you download the workbook.
The most important thing left is the label event handling class.
The event handling class
In the userform's Initialize procedure we connected all the date labels to the class clLabelClass and put them in a collection, colLabelEvent.
The user picks a date by clicking a date label, and if you didn't have the class handling this event, you would have to write a click procedure for each end every label. Now all clicks are handled by the class module code below.
The code uses some Public variables like sActiveDay declared im Module1.
Option Explicit
Public WithEvents InputLabel As MSForms.Label
Private Sub InputLabel_click()
With InputLabel
If .Tag < lStartPos Then
If UserForm1.lblBack.Enabled = True Then
UserForm1.lblBack_Click
End If
Exit Sub
End If
If .Tag > lDays + lStartPos - 1 Then
UserForm1.lblForward_Click
Exit Sub
End If
If .BorderColor = vbBlue Then Exit Sub
.BorderColor = vbBlue
.BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleSingle
If Len(sActiveDay) > 0 Then
If sActiveDay <> InputLabel.Name Then
With colLabels.Item(sActiveDay)
.BorderColor = &H8000000E
.BorderStyle = fmBorderStyleNone
End With
End If
End If
sActiveDay = InputLabel.Name
lFirstDay = Val(InputLabel.Caption)
If bSecondDate = False Then
UserForm1.FillFirstDay
Else
UserForm1.FillSecondDay
End If
End With
End Sub
That was the most important parts of the calendar's code. To see the rest, download the workbook.
The selected date or dates will be in two labels on the user form, but internally they are stored in the variables datFirstDay and datLastDay (declared on module level in the userform).
A date or dates can be used in many ways, and you can put your own code in the OK button's click procedure.
As sample code I find the difference in days between the two dates and display it in a message box, before the form closes. You can just replace that with your own code.
By picking my birthday and the day I write this, I can see, that I have lived for 21979 days. Time sure flies ...
