Hello to all,

You're welcome, Samuel! Jordi, we are talking about the current generation of DecSoft App Builder: the previous generation do not have something like that, and, probably can't do it: we try with themes in the past and finally remove it due to their problematic behaviour. The new DecSoft App Builder has been rewriten from the scratch (using a new version of Delphi) and allows us to have something like that "dark theme" available.

Hello Samuel,

Good news! I don't know the number of attempts that I made to save and retrieve the app's dock panels layout... but today I back into this and finally I think we can get something working as expected. So, be ready for the next DecSoft App Builder release, because you can then get the app's dock panels exactly than you wanted. :-)

Hello Samuel,

The point is that if we do that maybe other people can complain about, because they are happy to view all the panels by default. :-) My own screen, for example, is not very larger (these days) and I have enough (too much in fact) space in order to see all the dock panels. But you are right: the solution is to made customizable the app's dock panels. Not an easy thing (to me), apparently... but I did not abandond the idea.

Hola Jordi,

Si no me equivoco (casi estoy seguro) alguno de los ejemplos Camera que acompañan al "antiguo" AB, mostraba cómo subir a un servidor la imagen escogida por el usuario. ¿Has usado alguno de estos ejemplos al final?

Hello Peter,

I look in the past for something like that. Today I made some other tests with some promising results. So let me to have sometime and I will try to offer a way to change the IDE font size. Of course, you know that the code editor is now already customizable in that point. I can't promise a date, but, I'll take note about this possible improvement, Peter.

Hello Samuel,

As I told you via E-Mail, I made several attempts already to allows to save the app layout as we wanted. Unfortunately, I can't get it working. This means I abandond the idea? Not at all. It's just that the time is limited... I am sure that finally get can get something like that working, however, I can't promise you a date, because it's not only a question of time (even when it's important), but, work in the possible implementation.

Said that, your screen do not appear too small, as I can view in the first image. You can see the app's view designer, which is the important, and, additionally, you can see everything (all the dock panels) and ready to be used. Anyway, Samuel, I understand your point and will work in that when possible (I hope at that time I have more lucky than in my previous attempts).

Hello John,

Yes; certainly the IFrame control can be interesting. One of the sample app that you can see shown this website in particular, and, as you can see, there is no problem (or not too much problems) with it. The second sample app is maybe more interesting, because show how we can communicate between the IFrame and the website (or HTML file) which is shown in the IFrame, and, this can be interesting if we need something like that. So the IFrame control can be very good, even when probably cannot be considered something like an entire browser embedded in our app.

Hello John,

I think that what you can may use is an IFrame HTML control. Since you can change the IFrame's source / URL, you can create something similar to a browser. Of course, we can find some possible limitations, and, the most important, can be that not all the websites are allowed to be shown inside an IFrame, so, depend on the website that you want to visit, you can enter in troubles that cannot be solved, since do not depend on you nor the IFrame control, but on the website's server itself. There are a couple of IFrame sample apps included with DecSoft App Builder, so, you can take a look at it.

Hola Jordi,

La clave en este caso está en que si no aplicamos un estilo o damos un tamaño fijo, se aplicará el estilo de AB (escalado o fijo), y, para evitar eso, tenemos que darle un tamaño fijo a un determinado control: de este modo se respetará el tamaño que le demos nosotros mismos, es decir, no se aplicará el estilo de AB, sea este el escalado o el fijo.

Lo dicho aplica tanto a la anterior generación de AB (que es de la que tratamos en este hilo) como a la actual generación del producto.

Hola Jordi,

Tendrás que usar estilos para dar a esos botones un tamaño fijo, utilizando, si es necesario, diferentes tamaños para diferentes pantallas. Esto lo puedes hacer mediante JavaScript pero también mediante CSS, usando la propiedad "Inline CSS" de la app y algunas "CSS media queries". El código que has puesto no está pensado para esto, sino, para que los teclados de dispositivos Android o iOS no deformen las vistas, y, sólo tendrás que usarlo si dichas vistas contienen algún "input", y, si lo ves oportuno.
