Hi,

Google Desktop gadgets are programmed differently: http://code.google.com/apis/desktop/

As far as i know only select iGoogle gadgets can be added via the Add Gadgets dialog, but a better solution is in the works. Here are some previous discussions about a workaround: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Desktop-Developer/browse_thread/thread/90857fb979b3d9b/a31efa6456a777fc?lnk=gst&q=iGoogle#a31efa6456a777fc http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Desktop-Developer/browse_thread/thread/2895020cd20f905a/5a9aa00dfd23025c?lnk=gst&q=iGoogle+benjamin#5a9aa00dfd23025c

Hi, Jeremy. Thank you for your help! Here is the HelloWorld example of gadget:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Module> <ModulePrefs title="hello world example" /> <Content type="html"><![CDATA[ Hello, world! ]]></Content> </Module>

It cannot run on desktop! The <Module>, <ModulePrefs>, <Content> tags is illegal in desktop. And the JavaScript Libraries in google gadget is unacceptable in desktop too.

Well, for one thing, any iGoogle gadget (perhaps with some exceptions such as inlined gadgets) will work in Google Desktop (http:// desktop.google.com/). People can also use Prism to partially make websites into desktop applications.

Other than that, I'm sure you can make an ordinary desktop application that can run the required javascript to load an iGoogle gadget onto your program.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

There is one sentence, "gadgets can run on multiple sites and platforms", in this page: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/overview.html Is that mean a google gadget (maybe it is only a XML file) can run on desktop? How could this happen???- 隐藏被引用文字 -
