Hi Tam, Thank you for the information. If you have an example I would appreciate a look. Could you send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you. James -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
Re: Creating hires forms
Hi, essentially, you design the app on a 160x160 grid, and in case of DIA or screen rot, you get a notification and resize the form. There are code samples available on-line; I can send you a code sample!

All you really need to do is ensure you have double density versions of your bitmaps, and then test the application on a modern device (treo 680, Centro, 700p, 755p) to make sure you aren't making some obsolete assumption.

Re: Creating hires forms
And, if you want to look good on all possible Windows Mobile devices when running your PalmOS app on the StyleTap Platform, you include 1-1/2 and triple density bitmaps as well.

Creating hires forms
I've had a break of a few years from developing PalmOS applications and now want to update some of my old apps. I've got the new IDE installed and working, however I have a few questions about developing applications for newer hires (over 160 x 160) devices. I can see in the resource editor that it's possible to select the screen size for a form, however when going to 320 x 320 this just seems to double up the pixels is the correct? Also if I select 320x480 I can't place controls on the bottom part of the form, how do you get them there? What do other developers do about different screen resolutions? Do you just develope for 160x160 or do you dynamically select and display different forms depending on the resolution of the device that is running your applications? I'm sorry if these questions have been asked before but the help files give no information on this. This was all so much simpler in the old days!

I can see in the resource editor that it's possible to select the screen size for a form, however when going to 320 x 320 this just seems to double up the pixels is the correct? simple answer. you dont. you can hack around it by messing with the screen density; but you can get some very unexpected results :) officially, higher resolution meant better quality, not more room to play. Also if I select 320x480 I can't place controls on the bottom part of the form, how do you get them there? dynamic user intefaces. CtlSet to set locations etc.. based on a resize event; but, if you have started to look at DIA, you would know most of this already :) the examples for 320x480 support cover everything you need to know. What do other developers do about different screen resolutions? Do you just develope for 160x160 or do you dynamically select and display different forms depending on the resolution of the device that is running your applications? thats one way to do it. or, you could have a bunch of UI objects and dynamically set their position, size and visibility based on the screen resolution. kinda like how you program HTML with CSS for layout. -- // Aaron Ardiri -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
