DrChris Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Has anyone found a way to simply set up window dimensions for layouts on the desktop Filemaker so that they fit appropriately on the ipad? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Anything less than 1024x768 or thereabouts, minus some pixels for window borders and widget bars, should fit fine. Window dimensions aren't important: the windows are always "maximised" to fit the screen. Unlike the desktop, FM Go enlarges or reduces the layout to fit the layout to the iPad screen. So the trick is the make sure the layout isn't bigger than the iPad screen, then use auto-resize to fill the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Sephton Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Screen Dimensions For reference purposes, these are the screen dimensions for FileMaker Go in various states: Remember: List View consumes an additional 3px of width for the selection indicator on the left. This difference is not reported by Get ( WindowContentWidth ) and it is not taken into consideration in this matrix. • iPad Portrait (toolbar showing): width 768, height 929 • iPad Portrait (toolbar hidden): width 768, height 973 • iPad Landscape (toolbar showing): width 1024, height 673 • iPad Landscape (toolbar hidden): width 1024, height 717 • iPhone Portrait (toolbar showing): width 320, height 385 • iPhone Portrait (toolbar hidden): width 320, height 429 • iPhone Landscape (toolbar showing): width 480, height 255 • iPhone Landscape (toolbar hidden): width 480, height 289 In order to test for whether a user has their device in landscape or portrait mode, and to determine how much screen real estate you have available, use Get (WindowContentWidth) and Get (WindowContentHeight). Note that regardless of your zoom level, these are the numbers FileMaker Go will report. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
