1: The Windows/PB controls are transposed into the iPad/iPhone world by implementing the appropriate iOS controls. Will this process be fully automated by Appeon Mobile? Yes, this process will be fully automated by Appeon Mobile. 2: For some complex PB controls that have no equivalent within iOS, how does Appeon Mobile transpose the Windows/PB controls into iPad/iPhone world? Appeon Mobile can transpose automatically all of supported PB controls. For the complex PB controls that have no ...
We automatically map PB UI controls to corresponding native mobile UI controls. In some cases, like PB menu, toolbar, etc. we have adapted them to be usable in the mobile form factor. Also, your application will automatically benefit from a modern mobile UI look and feel. However, if leveraging windows from an existing PB application designed for a desktop client, you will need to make some adjustments to the size of the window, size of the controls, placement of the controls, and possibly the navigatio...
In the Mobile device the DataWindow can be scrolled by just using hand gestures on the DataWindow itself. When doing so a scrollbar will appear to indicate how far the data has been scrolled. This is consistent with how Mobile devices with touchscreens handle scrolling.
Yes, you can change any control/object properties in PB, and the changes will fully reflect on the mobile UI. You can even develop your own PB/Mobile framework, to ensure consistency across several applications and jumpstart new projects In the later versions, we will increase the developer flexibility to make even more radical changes to the UI.
We automatically map PB UI controls to corresponding native mobile UI controls. In some cases, like PB menu, toolbar, etc. we have adapted them to be usable in the mobile form factor (i.e. looks quite different from the PB version). Also, all PB controls will automatically benefit from a modern mobile UI look n' feel that the native mobile OS provides. After Appeon Mobile 1.x, we will expand controls that can be used in PB design time to include more exotic mobile controls.
Yes you can deploy existing PB apps to Mobile but please take into account the following information: Besides modifying the unsupported features, we also recommend adjusting the PB app UI, navigation and possibly the functionality to best suit tablets and smartphones. At a minimum, we suggest adjusting the window size, control size, row height, font size, etc. so they are easy to operate on the targeted device. Appeon Mobile provides an emulator to simulate your app on a given Mobile OS and identify ...
Appeon Mobile provides a function to automatically resize the UI, so one code can be used for both targets. However, if the customer's window has too many DataWindows and controls, then when Appeon resizes it to iPhone it will be too small for the user to work effectively and efficiently. So the point is if a customer really wants to target both devices with 1 code they should design their app so it works well on iPhone. If a customer is targeting both devices, he would need to create different PB wi...
