How are you designing your screen layout?

How are you designing your screen layout?

Postby Ross_ValuSoft » Mon May 18, 2009 2:53 pm

Hi folks,

In the Harbour mg Extended world where I normally "live", I use a graphical IDE to select and place my controls (eg labels, textboxes, listboxes, bmps, etc) on a form whose size I can adjust as the design evolves.

How do you guys achieve the same process of placing and sizing controls on a fixed Pocket PC sized screen? Counting pixels or trial and error does not appeal to me any longer :cry:

Thanks,

Ross

Thank you Silvio.

Is it mature yet? Can it really be used for FWPPC applications?

Thanks,

Ross

Ross,

You can use any windows resources editor (Visual Studio, PellesC, etc.) to design your RC forms and have the coordinates and dimensions of your used controls.

Thanks Antonio.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying ... use any GUI IDE to prototype the layout and then transfer the numerical data of the size and positions of the controls to the code. I have already had a lot of success using the IDE available with the Harbour mg Extended package. So I think that I will use it because I am very familiar with its operation. Obviously, in the longer term, your Visual FW tool would be preferred. I look forward to that.

Best wishes,

Ross
