So I'm running out of real estate on my tablet for my EZB mobile app. I was looking for a way to have an extra screen that I can toggle between on the same mobile app, so I can have one set of buttons on one screen, and another set of buttons on the other screen.
This is not an issue on the PC edition, as I can use the Script Manager and run as many programs / routines as I want to. Does anybody know of a way to do this?
Thanks.
Anthony(xlrobots) made an app that has a directory using multiple mobile interfaces.
That's an even better solution. I must admit that I missed that one and didn't know you could add multiple mobile controls. Good to know.
Very cool, I haven't had time this weekend to try the show command yet, but Anthony's app is what I wanted to do, as I wanted to be able to pre-program several subroutines that I can call manually, this will be great!
I think I will be able to get this going now, but thanks Anthony for offering to help with the setup.
So what type of a command would be in your script for the button?
Ok, thanks
r1d1, to avoid confusion from Anthony's response - he indeed uses the ShowControl() command, which is available in the Cheat Sheet. The ShowControl() can be used for any control in ARC which supports a mobile interface. You can see the list of supported controls by pressing the ? (question mark) on the Mobile Interface Builder.
The only way to show a control on the mobile app programmatically is to use the ShowControl() command.
I recommend adding back buttons to return from the control so you do not create a huge breadcrumb stack. You can close controls with CloseControl(). The EZ-Script manual explains further detail.
Thanks DJ for the clarification, I was a little confused, and thanks Anthony for the idea
