Visual Composer UI to Desktop Widget

[Former Member]

Hi,

If I have a UI developed in Visual Composer (VC) which would be the most easiest way to convert it to a desktop widget.

My main requirement is to display VC UIs as desktop widgets, any widget technology (Adobe AIR, Yahoo! Widget, etc..) would be fine.

Best Regards,

See this demo:

I do that in here. The Yahoo Widget Engine doesn't natively support this, so I had to use a plugin WebBrowser4Widgets to do this.

Hi Prakash,

I could not find the download urls for the required dlls (namely IEwidget.dll and IEwidget_nat.dll) to run the WebBrowser4Widget.

Hey Aadil,

I removed this obsolete link. Actually, in the next major release of the BI Data Widget (V3.0), Yahoo natively supports html objects now, so I'm planning on adding native graph support by using either Visual Composer charts or BEx Web Application Designer charts. I've uploaded a demo to SDN which should be available shortly for this new capability. There are quite a few things that need to be worked out for this next big release, so I anticipate we'd have something Januaryish, but no promises. Therefore, I'm not distributing this obsolete hack we had before anymore as the workaround required a ton of work. Now, this new version is much improved, so stay tuned.

Cheers,

Prakash
