In order to get terminal services session information, you can take a look at the following reference:
Grabbing Information of a Terminal Services Session Programmatically
You can consider converting the code to visual basic. -

Unfortunately I discovered that I can't do a shadow session connect using mstsclib.dll and I didn't find any other solutions...
The only way is call external mstsc.exe /shadow but I can't include it in my GUI application... -

2021-03-01T13:39:11.797+00:00 Hi, but this code is to use on local terminal server... Instead I have to get ID session on a terminal server by another computer.. because than I have to create an RDP shadow connect...

I can't do a shadow session connect using mstsclib.dll
Maybe there are other ways to shadow session : Terminal Server : shadow a session using AxMSTCLib
For qwinsta.exe, hope this reference could be helpful.
