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...
