Using the Web GUI it is possible to control your projects Exposed Properties and Layer selection via a web browser. The GUI is optimised for touch surfaces (tablets, phones etc).
You can also develop your own web GUI interfaces or control from remote web apps using the
Web API
on which the Web GUI is based.
The Web GUI can be used within both standalone and media server contexts, although with media servers once the WebGUI link is established the exposed parameters will ignore media server updates, to avoid conflicting data.
Builder does not support layer changes through the WebGUI, to avoid conflict between the WebGUI and Notch UI.
When enabled, exported
Standalone Executables
start a web server on port 8910.
To enable and access the Web GUI:
Enable Web GUI in the project settings
Project -> Settings
In the General tab check ‘Web GUI Enabled’
Export the project to a Standalone Executable
Project -> Compile Standalone Executable
Run the executable
Access the GUI from a web browser
Open a web browser
Go to:
http://127.0.0.1:8910
The exposed properties will be displayed
You can access the Web GUI from any other computer via
http://<ip_address>:8910
The GUI allows you to control exposed properties when the project is running as a Standalone Executable.
Any remote machine that has access to the Web GUI port can control the project. IP security is left in the users hands.
