No, I hadn't. It's a little hard to tell what the heck it really is from
the web page..the usual marketing-speak, no mention of wx, for instance.
However, these are our needs:
The web version needs to run on a basic browser, with not extra plug-ins
or custom clients.
We'd like to make the stand-alone version share as much code as possible
with the web version. That means the same GUI, which means it would run
in a browser. It also needs to be a simple install, i.e. not MySQL +
apache + our app. Activegrid really doesn't seem to provide this, but
I'll look into it more.
While I'm talking to Kevin: The other idea I had was to use wxMozilla,
to embed a browser in a wxPython app, then we could use the same code to
generate all the HTML, and display the UI through wxMozilla, without
having to use a client-server set up and http. This came up because
apparently some Windows systems turn off all TCP/IP when the Ethernet
cable is disconnected.
My question is: with wxMozilla, can you capture all the GET and/or POST
events, so that you can essentially run a web app and browser all within
one process?
