Powerbuilder for Web Alternative Solution

For Powerbuilder users, since Appeon no longer provides the Powerbuilder for Web feature, the solution below can be an alternative if you want to convert your Powerbuilder application into a Web-based application.

The solution is to use an application called Thinfinity VirtualUI from Cybele Software (https://www.cybelesoft.com/thinfinity/virtualui/)

By installing Thinfinity VirtualUI on the server, and adding a small script to your Powerbuilder application, your application can be automatically accessed directly through a web browser, not just Internet Explorer or Edge, but all major web browsers that already support HTML 5 (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera). Because it can be accessed through a web browser, your clients can access it through mobile devices and also on non-Windows PC devices, such as Apple's MacOS.

Here's the additional script that need to be inserted

VirtualUI = CREATE OLEObject
VirtualUI.ConnectToNewObject('VirtualUI.VirtualUI')
VirtualUI.Start(30)

Adding some scripts into Powerbuilder Application

Thinfinity VirtualUI can also be applied to other relatively old programming languages, such as Visual Basic, Delphi, Visual Fox Pro, etc.
