Overview
WebGUI is XPL2 pre-programmed widget which allows to generate and run web pages stored in a touch
panel or in a controller.
WebGUI consists of following components
• Graphic collection WebGUIGraphicCollection
• Device driver WebGUIServer
• Module WebGUIInterface
Web pages are designed by the same way as touch panel layout using objects included in
WebGUIGraphicCollection. These objects are prepared to generate web pages automatically. The basic
object is window WebGUIBuilder. It isn’t included in target web pages, but it must be used for web pages
design and for communication during page simulation and generation. All other objects included in
graphic collection generate the same objects for web pages. Current WebGUI version includes following
objects
• Page
• PushButton
• Label
• TextBox
• InputTextForm.
Device driver WebGUIServer must be connected to CUEunit (controller or touch panel) where web
pages are automatically generated and stored. Module WebGUIInterface connects graphic collection and
WebGUIServer during page design and simulation.
Web pages are generated during debug of the application.
For more details about WebGUIComponents see approprite chapters.
Simulation Mode
In the Simulation Mode WebGUI touch panel
and controller are simulated in the PC using Cue

panel and WebGUIserver creates web files to
filestorage of the controller. In this mode the
filestorage is temporary folder in the PC.
Internet browser running on the same PC
in localhost mode can be used for web page
preview.
