CGI pulling languages

rfeyer · May 7, 2015

I was all excited about being able to use my old Visual Basic to write little progrmas to control WC8.
Once I was not able to install it on Win7, found out it will not be supported anymore (of course Windows).
Then I have done some research and found PHP can do the trick, but as I got into it, realized that it was to be installed on a server.

So, now 2 questions:
1- what langiage can be used, PC and Android, to get the CGI values from WV8, and to control the WC8 TTL's?
2- is there anyw ay to change the labels of the WC8 page?

For Android, it uses Java. We have an open source Java app, you can download that and make any modification to it, please understand that we do not support how to modify that app.

TY CGI support,
I will look at the JAVA coding and see if it is in my grasp to learn.
I am guessing that JAVA is the best route to go?

Rainer

p.s.: perfectly understood that you could not support the Java questions; I will hope to get help from any members here or a JAVA forum

TY again!

CAI_Support,

I am not finding the open source code for the Android Applet on your site. Could you kindly supply a link?
TY in advance,

Rainer

I did find a link to your code for the WC android app in one of the threads - so, that is OK.
I can not find the app on Google Play or iTunes - can you tell me if it goes under a different name? I tried CAI, WC, WebControl, etc

OK - after doing some more research and getting ready to learn JAVA, I read that Android does not use JAVA, and, in order to use JAVA apps, one needs to run an emulator under root.
Am I doing the wrong research?

Android app is developed in Java, you will need to have development platform, like free download Eclipse and JDK installed on your PC, it will generate apk package.
Then you can install that apk directly on android devices. We do provide the source for that app, that was in Java. You do not need to root your android device to install the app.

Hi, it should be no problem to install VB6.0 on a Win7 PC. I have installed it on several machines. How is the problem described?
