Do you mean the three library bundle? Quote Bundle (HTML Component Library + HTML Editor Library + HTML Report Library) I'm curious as a potential customer. Share this post Link to post

Yes, it will be available for free for customers with active subscription (at release date) on Bundle mentioned above (HTML Component Library + HTML Editor Library + HTML Report Library) 2 Share this post Link to post
#ifdef 12 Posted May 25 Need to create a simple app for KaiOS (like WhatsApp has already done) — is it possible to do this in Delphi with WebUI? I don't know web at all 😞 Share this post Link to post

Alexander Sviridenkov 345 Posted July 29 WebUI demo is available: http://delphihtmlcomponents.com/webui.zip 1. Extract files from zip. 2. Run nw.exe (requires Administrator because uses http.sys web server) 3. Enter your DB connection details or leave demo DB 4. Press Create UI 5. After UI is created press Start server and open http://localhost:8080 in browser. Documentation https://delphihtmlcomponents.com/webui/ 2 Share this post Link to post
Rollo62 520 Posted August 7 (edited) I roughly get the point of this, by peeking through the docs. Opens a few questions: Does this work also locally, standalone, meaning that one App contains a kindof internal service, together with a TWebBrowser in the same app? So that there is no real server is used, only perhaps internal communications with the TWebBrowser component. Other question, if this could work as above on Android and iOS too? Perhaps the answer to 1.) and 2.) is "No", which would explain why 2.) is not available for mobile platforms yet. Is this part of the HtmlComponents package and already available for testing, by using the current download link again? Edited August 8 by Rollo62 Share this post Link to post
corneliusdavid 183 Posted August 8 It looks like this is similar to Elevate Web Builder. I think TMS has a product that does this also. Are you targeting a different or lower-cost market or is there something specific about this I missed that is really unique? Share this post Link to post

Both compile Pascal to javascript using pas2js. This seems to be more like UniGUI, Kitto or even IntraWeb, where your program itself is a webserver. Share this post Link to post

Are you targeting a different or lower-cost market or is there something specific about this I missed that is really unique? Main differences: 1. In WebUI you do not work with simple control like Label, Edit, Combo, etc., only with high level entities. F.e. "I want to have a filter on toolbar for this field". 2. Library is not tied to certain JS/CSSlibraries, you can define how it will render UI by changing templates. 3. UI is designed in browser and is stored in DB. Therefore: a) You can have different UI on each customer/site using one compiled application. And easily copy/paste forms between sites. b) Changes are more simple. Standard way: Customer request, f.e. add new column to grid - Open application in IDE, find form, find dataset, change query, find grid, add column, compile, test, send back to customer. WebIUI - press F2 in browser, open designer, change SQL, add column, press Apply. 4. Very powerful grid/listview. Easy to define cell content, color, background, format, etc. 5. Lot of built-in features (with UI created using WebUI itself) - localization with automatic translation, session management, forms management, SQL and pages profiling, server monitoring, etc. 6. Embedded access rights management. All entities are linked to dataclasses and UI is displayed with respect to current user role (f.e. Delete button will be hidded if role has no delete rights for this class). 7. SQL, JS, Scripts editors with completion and hints. 8. Some parts are created automatically basing on DB schema and content anylysis. You can download demo, enter you database details and get working application in 1-5 minutes. 9. Easy integration with Delphi, Register you class in WebUI and you will be able to call any of its methods from scripts. 1 Share this post Link to post

Ok, but still unclear if this can be used as internal "server" too, especially on mobile. As described above, the apps will act as a real embedded HTTP web server, right? This will make little sense for any mobile app, perhaps. But in any app on any platform, to have just a "local" server, that doesn't conflict with firewalls, permissions, etc., and which is just responsible for the UI part, that will make a lot of sense. This will enable an easy way to separate the UI from the business logic, IMHO. So can it be used that way, or is it even intended for that purpose? Share this post Link to post

Library itself is not tied up to any web server, just need 20-30 lines of code to pass request and get response. 1 Share this post Link to post
