Turn off UI of Custom widget

KumarHarish — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:16:00 GMT

Hi,

I have added some functionality in a start-up function of custom widget but I am not keen to show the widget GUI.

Could some one point me how to turnoff or disable the widget GUI?

Kumar,

So are you wanting your widget to run all the time with no user interaction? Or do you want the user to launch the widget from a button but not have a panel/UI that is presented after the user launches the widget?

Then you need to make an inPanel: false (offPanel) widget then that has not Widget.html like the LocalLayer Widget

GitHub - cmndrbensisko/LocalLayer at v2.2
