Hosting NOV in your application

Hosting NOV in your application

The first thing to do, if you intend to use Nevron Open Vision (NOV), or NOV based products, is to host NOV in your application. The purpose of the NOV hosting is to connect the NOV integration services with their host specific implementations, as explained in detail by the NOV Help Documentation -> Hosts and Integration Services topic.

The installation for each particular platform is very similar. It performs the follows tasks:

1. Reference the required NOV assemblies and Host specific assemblies.
2. Call the Install method of the host specific application installer with an array that contains the NOV modules (see below).

The installation (Getting Started) examples make a simple label that displays a "Hello World from Nevron Open Vision" string that is placed as content of the NNovWidget that is created in each example. The NNovWidget is a native control for each of the integration platforms. Since the content of the NNovWidget, can be any widget, the examples can be easily enhanced to provide more sophisticated user interfaces.

You can review the Help Documentation -> UI Overview topic for an overview of the User Interface that comes along with NOV.
