window behavior stretching cell phone

[cgetty]

I started using UI builder and enjoyed it very much and I still use it from time to time.

old version of UI bulder

I converted a older program to CrossUI.

old version

Notice how it's easier to stretch and navigate the screen.

new version using CrossUI

Was the ability to stretch and navigate the screen lost with the upgrade to CrossUI?

These examples should be viewed using a cell phone.

Or is there just a setting that I should set that I overlooked?

Thanks Clark.

I noticed that you have 5 tabs, but hide all tabs except the first one, and you set "value" to 5th(hidden).

Code: Select all

               .setItems([
                    {
                        "id" : "a",
                        "caption" : "Wanker Bell",
                        "imageClass" : "xui-icon-xui",
                        "closeBtn" : false
                    },
                    {
                        "id" : "b",
                        "caption" : "Hosted Sites",
                        "closeBtn" : false,
                        // HIDDEN
                        "hidden" : true
                    },
                    {
                        "id" : "c",
                        "caption" : "Play",
                        "closeBtn" : false,
                        // HIDDEN
                        "hidden" : true
                    },
                    {
                        "id" : "d",
                        "caption" : "Apps",
                        "closeBtn" : false,
                        "optBtn" : true,
                        "popBtn" : true,
                        // HIDDEN
                        "hidden" : true
                    },
                    {
                        "id" : "e",
                        "caption" : "Opening Tab",
                        "closeBtn" : false,
                        // HIDDEN
                        "hidden" : true
                    }
                ])
                .setLeft("0em")
                .setTop("0em")
                .setVisibility("visible")
                // select the 5th
                .setValue("e")

Yes the observation that you made regarding my interface it was just having fun trying to get familiar with the IDE trying to learn how things work there is no necessary rhyme or reason to any of it.

Although many of us may be viewed as "Civilian Developers" we often fly by the seat of our pants. We will sometimes do some really wacky things with CrossUI that many who are formally taught would never do. Some times you may have a hearty laugh when you see how we do things.

But can you answer my question regarding the old version that you did in 2009 I was able to easily stretch windows and shrink windows on a cell phone and I found that very convenient

How can I stretch and shrink a window by pinching the screen on a cell phone. I just found that very convenient that's all.

Just some observations. About 1/2 the apps that I make I still am using UI builder ver 3. I seems to work very well. Most of the small glitches that I experience are memorized and I have a work around. The reason is because all the people that want to view my apps want to do it from their cell phones.

I thought about trying to develop using some kind of frame work (for android) to do that. But I'm getting too old to start learning a new frame work. I want to leverage the knowledge I've worked so HARD to get so far. I love CrossUi and many of the new features.

Ok I just had to get that off my chest.
