Description:
The ScreenSize extension gives you information about the current
screen size on the PocketPC device. It can be used as a plug-in
extension just by calling the GetScreenSize, GetScreenWidth, or
GetScreenHeight script functions as desired, or it can be used
as an SFX control that will fire an event when the screen size
changes. The event that is fired is the Action event for the
ScreenSize form control, which can be Run Script or JumpToForm or
something else. For example, in the action script you could call
the GetScreenSize function, and then move/resize controls on the
form to adapt to the changed screen size. There are no SFX
control properties for the ScreenSize control. It is not visible
on the PDA screen.
Installation:
1. Close Satellite Forms App Designer.
2. Copy ScreenSize.inf to \Satellite Forms 7\Extensions\Standard\ folder.
3. Copy SFE_ScreenSize.sfx to \Satellite Forms 7\Extensions\Standard\PPC_ARM folder.
You can then restart App Designer, and the ScreenSize extension will
now be available to add to your PocketPC projects.
SFX Control Usage:
Place the ScreenSize SFX control on your form(s). When the
screen size/rotation changes, the Action event of the ScreenSize
control is fired. Expected usage is to have a Run Script action
which gets the new screen size using GetScreenSize, GetScreenWidth,
or GetScreenHeight, and then moving/resizing form controls if
desired using the ControlName.SetPosition script method.
Script Method Usage:
GetScreenSize - Return screen dimensions in string WWWxHHH.
scrsize = GetScreenSize()
Example return value: 240x320
GetScreenWidth - Return screen width.
sWidth = GetScreenWidth()
Example return value: 240
GetScreenHeight - Return screen height.
sHeight = GetScreenHeight()
Example return value: 320
