Razzak,
That is what I thought (Windows Limitation/conformance). Perhaps
undocumented,
but in playing around I did see if I issued the option BUTTON_YES_FONT_SIZE 24
it did change the size of the font in the button but not the size of
the button,
so the text grew out and got cut off on the button.
As you and Tom suggested using a form to handle this is the best
way, The user
on my Surface Pro has had the dialog variable form I am using getting hidden
behind the main form, I suspect as he is handling the tablet he is
hitting the
main form or something on the screen to cause this. As I am typing this I am
going to change my way of asking the question by imbedding the question and
buttons directly on the Main form and using the property visible commands to
turn them on and off with a loop to wait for a response. So I may have a good
workaround going forward.
Thanks for the answers and getting my mind whirling on a better way
to handle it.
Frank,
Remember, nothing is impossible.
With ever-changing trends in the Windows world and providing solutions, R:BASE
mobile applications are gaining significant momentum.
Slick Tablet PCs and versatile mobile devices running MS Windows,
there are many
opportunities to design and deploy mobile R:BASE applications.
We have been doing some really cool stuff as shown to you during my
last join.me
session. Our corporate customers have always challenged us to bring
the best of
our expertise using R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64), Oterro 9.5 (64), and Node.js.
For latest solutions, R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64) and all add-on products are used
for R:BASE Cloud and Mobile Applications while Oterro 9.5 (64) and Node.js is
used for all R:BASE Web Portals on MS Windows Server 2012.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Good luck and ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

Frank,
FWIW ...
The size of any user response buttons, such as [OK], [Cancel], [Yes], [No],
or [Press any key], etc., are actually in conformance to Windows.
However, designing a custom variable form with totally controlled objects
is the key for designing mobile applications.
My schedule & time permitting, similar to the last join.me session, let me
send you a private invitation for a quick lesson on how to make a variable
form for Tablet or Mobile devices to handle all that is required to develop
& deploy R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 Mobile Applications.
