HTML GUI for localy running app

Question

Ok I have been searching for this a lot but I can't find what I'm looking for. I want to use a HTML GUI for an app that is running locally on the pc I have seen it in other apps where they use javascript and html as a front end for the user and a VC++ MFC app (I think) for the actual work. I want to make a program where users can easily modify the GUI to match their specific needs. But I can't make it pure HTML PHP ASP or whatever since I need to do serial communication and some hardware access and I don't want to have tu install a webserver to run it. I pretty new to all this but somehow I think .net has got what I need. I just don't know what to look for. /Einar

That php-gtk seems like it requires a webserver. The application I have seen is a MFC app and in the html its only java script and some places there are tags like And by clicking the image DO_THIS_ACTION is passed to the main program. I would love to see something like thin in .net /Einar

I've never seen a .Net app running a HTML front end. You can do it with Microsoft HTA (HTML Applications). The other alternative is PHP-GTK -> http://gtk.php.net/
