[.NetCF Library] Manila Interface SDK
- Thread starter michyprima
- Start date
nicely done.
i don't want to sound bad, but don't forget the manilla tabs too
i just tested it. some things i found ....
1) Manilla Header doesn't have font property (important)
2) the list is very confusing, not easy to manage
3) the On - Off button, doesn't have good text quality
4) when u drop the on off box and the checkbox to the form, in the design form, they look too big, and they can't be resized. (if u run the project they look ok, but still u can't resize them)
haven't tested the progress bar, but i guess it should be ok.

1) This is intentional. manila screen uses predefined font and since the style is manila why change it?nicely done.

2) what is confusing for you?
3) Ill look to it
4) this is a visual studio problem. it passes your monitor resolution to my lib and not the real wm sdk size (320x240). You can avoid this using vga form size (640x480). Their size can't be changed btw cause images are fixed and in other sizes they looks ugly
Awesome!!!!
But why doesn't my text get shown in the button instead of the text "Button"
Ups never mind, didn't see the ButtonText Property...
yep, I made a stupid thing...I changed it back to Text property
about 1)
a programmer needs to have access to everything. sometimes it is important to have big letters and colorised so users can actually see it (trust me, i see a lot of client's "problems" every day), and some times some smaller size letters to fit a bigger text or make it look more nicely done.
if it doesn't take u too much time to implement it, i would be thankful.
about the list, i need to work a bit more on it, to make sure that it is not me.

Hello,
Thanks for your SDK, it's a great work!
I have a dumb question,
in your listview, how can i add a item with 2 lines and 2 colums ?
I'm currently adding a manillaPanelItem and using primary and secondary text, but i want to have on each side of the list 2 text
like this:
item1-left 1 (------------------) right 1
item1-left 2 (------------------) right 2
Is it possible with your control ?

4) Isn't is because your usercontrol is based on 128dpi and not 96dpi??
I experianced the same behavior. My VS project forms are 320x240. In design mode your controls are oversized, but when debugging whit a 640x480 or 800x480 they looks OK..
msgbox done
This looks really good, but from a developers point of view, I'll rather see more touch friendly usercontrols, like the one in Manila 2.5 when creating a new appointment and setting start time. Beatiful, and very touch friendly.
I guess that kind of controls will give you more donation$ ;-)
Keep up the good work!
Just create a new item and implement IKListItem interface. That way you can paint everything you want in the item bounds.
Yeah I know first version was a bit slow while scrolling. now I fixed it and scrolls MUCH fasterI ran the test demo app.... uh - scrolling works *really* bad... maybe it's for vga and I have to build my own sample for qvga? It's so bad right now I cannot use it
Or maybe some tips on using?
