How to center a browse

[John Fligg]

As per the attached screenshot the browse control is left aligned. Is there any way to center this on the screen in mobile mode?

Maybe I am missing something.

Thanks

the short answer is no.
the slightly longer answer is yes, but only if you know the width of your browse. since in this case the width is dependent on the names themselves that becomes a bit hit-and-miss.

The solution in your case to making it look a bit prettier is to set the minimum width of the whole browse, to the width of the screen (100% methinks, but I haven't experimented).

No did not work. Not to worry - not the greatets issue I have right now.

Thanks

John, This is one of those things that annoys me to no end, but I understand why it is the way it is. However, I've been re-designing my app to use the XP Task panel on the left, like the Accounts example, and visually it is more tolerable, and makes more sense than a menu across the top.

My only glitch is I have to figure out why my procs seem to break out of the XP Panel when I go to them.

Hi Mike

I am not worried about the NON monile display as I can fill that up with stuff. For the lookup tables where there is only one column it is also OK as no one usually uses those much.

My problem is specific to the mobile situation.

I use the accordian menu and have no issue with that at all.

Hi Mike,

>> However, I've been re-designing my app to use the XP Task panel on the left, like the Accounts example, and visually it is more tolerable, and makes more sense than a menu across the top.

You may want to use TaskPanel type rather than XP TaskPanel type. The XP one is marked for deprecation in NT6 (ie it's still there, but will be phased out eventually).

Also, with a view to going mobile, and with a view to more flexibility later on, it's probably best not to use frames anymore if you can help it. See http://www.capesoft.com/docs/NetTalk6/NetWebTasks.htm#ConvertFrames from more information on converting a Frames app to Non-Frames. (hint: it's easier than you think.)
