Building CGI Panel

The CGI Panel is a C# project which provides a graphical interface which supports the control of scenes and animations by managing the flow of the Player. 

Building CGI Panel

Usually there is no need to build the CGI Panel on your own, since the executable is already provided for the Player build environment - refer to either:

  • <cgi_studio_root>/bin/Player/CGIPanel.exe or
  • <cgi_studio_root>/bin/LightPlayer/Win32/CGIPanel.exe.

Building CGI Panel

  2. Build the project and then press F5 to start the CGI Panel in Debug Mode.

This solution allows the customer to extend the windows UI control of the Player.
