iPad app for fat coaches' fingers

Targets Web

Any secrets for expanding a web app so that you can use it on iPad with fat fingers?

2

Create big buttons :slight_smile:

You can load specially designed pages based on the platform of the user connecting to the web app.

In Session.Open event handler:

If Self.Platform = WebSession.PlatformType.iPad Then PageWithBugButtonsForiPad.Show Else StandardPage.Show End If

As much as I hate to have to create multiple pages, this is also what I do. I have specifics for iPad, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, and 2 different Android resolutions.

This is also a good reason to get used to using callbacks in action events instead of coding within the controls themselves :).

whatcha mean?

You mean keeping your programming in methods that just have calls from something.action ??

do all my methods need to reside in the session?

7

my primary page is called cc. I’m trying to identify a page in session.

in session, c is a property as webpage.
in session.open if browser = internet explorer then c = new webpage, c = cc.

I keep getting a c does not exist error.

what?

C=new CC

thanks that was dumb …

ok really confused about a successful structure for my program. Use container controls for different windows. To use different layouts for different operating systems do I have to keep all my methods in the Session?

Apparently I can’t use classes to keep the methods, properties and different layouts …

No you don’t have to use Session, but you will want to put your shared code somewhere outside the WebPage/Container itself.

Having a class (or set of classes) that encapsulate your code probably makes the most sense. In the WebPage/Container, instantiate the class (perhaps in the Open event handler and save the instance as a private property):

mPageHandler = New MyClassWithMethods

Then in the appropriate event handlers, you can call the class using something like this, passing in any values that it needs:

mPageHandler.MethodToCall(value1, value2)

thanks Paul, I tried this:

circleCalcRoutines as class, c = new circleCalcRoutines in webpage.open.

I’m getting a c does not exist error.

ideas?
