If Iphone use Layout, if ipad use else desktop

[RodM]

I have one desktop application that does more than I want to show or allow on iphone or ipad process used remotely.

 

I tried Get (application)    but when logging in using my iphone... shows still desktop layouts.

 

I want to start the app the same.. but go in a different direction than the desktop, or the Ipad... do specfic and less.. that that works

 

I understand I can set a different layout templates to use for these devices... for some reason I haven't found the answer

,, need more info

Hey

Ya, good question. Get(application) is right but is typically wrapped in pattern count

Case(

Patterncount(get(application);"iPad") for iPad detection; go to layout ... ;

Patterncount(get(application);"go") for iPhone detection; go to layout ... ;

Go to desktop layout

)

The starter solutions all use this multi layout format if you want to see a working example

Hi Rod,  :-)

 

Try Get ( Device )

 

< 3 is desktop

3 is ipad

4 is iPhone or iPod

Our sponsor RCCoulting has a file you may want to look at called FMgo Training Tool (it’s Free)

I tried get (device)   must be a FM 13...   tried FM12 i am still on for now

Yes, Get(Device) originated in FM Pro 13.

 

I think your going to want to set your File Options to run a script OnFIrstWindowOpen that includes some conditional steps:

 

If [PatternCount( Get(ApplicationVersion); "Go_iPad")]

   Go to Layout [iPad layout]

else if [PatternCount (Get(ApplicationVersion); "Go")]

   Go to Layout [iPhone layout]

else

   Go to Layout [Desktop layout]

end if

 

...or something similar.

Sorry,  I didn’t notice your version 12.

[RodM]

thanks Nuos and Mathew I am using FM12 still!
             ( can't move to 13 until i can figure another problem with screens between the versions)

 

 

 

I have tried the get Pattern Case..  method

When I log via iphone.. don't have a ipad yet,

using FM Go..  my screen still uses the desktop layout?

 

FM adv on my desktop,  logging on using FM GO on my iphone

 

thanks for the looks

Maybe a dumb question, but have you designed a completely new layout for the iPhone? This is in response to your first post. Creating a new blank layout with a phone template and copying the desktop layout objects into it will not create a different layout.
