4.4.2 VirtualUI Applications

Thinfinity® VirtualUI is a robust development platform designed to enable the transformation of Windows desktop applications into web-based solutions with minimal code changes. At the core of this technology is a proprietary DLL that developers can integrate directly into their applications. This DLL injects a virtualization layer into the software, allowing it to run in HTML5-compatible web browsers, and extending its accessibility across various platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices.

Note Detailed instructions on how to perform VirtualUI integrations are available here.

Once the integration phase has been finalized you can create a VirtualUI access profile to connect to the virtualized application.

To create a Remote App Access Profile and publish your virtualized application:

1

Start the Access Profile Wizard

In Thinfinity® Workspace home page click on New Profile.

2

Select an Access Profile Type

In the first screen of the Access Profile Wizard select Application and click Next.

3

Choose the Application Type

In the next step of the wizard choose the VirtualUI App type for the application connection, then click Next.

4

Choose the Application You Want to Publish

In the Program path and file name field, type the full path to the executable file of the VirtualUI app you want to publish. Select an icon for your published app (optional) and click Next to proceed.

5

Set the Permissions for the VirtualUI Access Profile

Use the available options to add the users who will have access to the new Access Profile then click Next. This step is optional, you can set the permissions at a later moment.

6

Set the Access Profile Name

Type a friendly and descriptive name for the new Access Profile then click Next to publish your VirtualUI app.

7

Configure the Access Profile

The wizard helps define the minimal parameters so that the connection to the final resource can function. Thinfinity Workspace assigns default values for the rest of the parameters of the connection. To customize these parameters, access the Settings menu of the Access Profile. For details, see VirtualUI Access Profile.

8

Commit the Changes

To implement the defined connection parameters, click Commit.

If you are defining only one profile, you can use Commit right after configuring all the desired parameters.

If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Commit after you have everything in place.
