Some newer PalmOS devices include support for using the area of the screen that was formerly dedicated to the silk-screened Graffiti input area, and for rotating the display between tall (portrait) and wide (landscape) display orientations.  This area of the screen can display the standard Graffiti input area, or other input options such as an onscreen keyboard, or it can be utilized by applications to display larger forms.  This area of the screen is known as the Dynamic Input Area (DIA), and is sometimes called the "soft" or "virtual" Graffiti area.

Using the DynamicInputArea extension included with Satellite Forms 7, your PalmOS applications can now support the expandable screens and dynamic input area available on some Palm Powered devices.

For complete details and sample code, see the Satellite Forms KnowledgeBase article "How To support Expandable Screens in PalmOS applications".
