Thinfinity VirtualUI Integration Guide for Windows Applications

Thinfinity VirtualUI: Integration with Different Coding Languages


Product: Thinfinity VirtualUI 
Version: 3 and above

Introduction

Thinfinity VirtualUI is a software solution designed to easily integrate Windows-based applications with web technologies, enabling remote access through web browsers. It extends the reach of these applications to multiple platforms and devices, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices, making them accessible without extensive code modifications. By embedding the application's graphical user interface within the web browser, VirtualUI creates a native web-based experience.

Particularly beneficial for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), VirtualUI allows them to offer their software as web services without a complete rewrite. This solution enhances user experience, productivity, and cost savings by eliminating the need to develop separate web versions of applications.

In this document we will focus on the initial steps, combination with distinct coding languages and the different integration methods.


Overview of the initial steps before publishing an application with VirtualUI

Before publishing an application, developers must integrate Thinfinity VirtualUI into their project. This process involves the following steps:
  1. Download and install the Thinfinity VirtualUI SDK.
  2. Add the VirtualUI library or component to the project, depending on the programming language or framework being used.
  3. Instantiate and start a VirtualUI object, typically at the beginning of the application's main procedure or main form constructor following tutorials and code examples.
  4. Compile the application with the VirtualUI integration.
  5. Test the application in development mode using the Thinfinity VirtualUI Development Server.

Integration with Different Coding Languages

Thinfinity VirtualUI supports integration with multiple programming languages, including:

C# - Winforms
QT
C# - WPF
VB6
