Windows 7 sidebar gadgets

Do you need to write Windows Sidebar Gadgets in C#, or should I be able to write them in another language, for example Delphi?

Thanks

  • It depends on the task of your gadget. you could encapsulate logic within a delphi activex and to include in a gadget without problems.

    The Windows Vista/7 gadgets are essentially mini-HTML applications. The user interface is composed of pages containing regular HTML, CSS ,images and potentially ActiveX controls.
