SC10 Responsive Layout

[acarur01]

I just wanted to confirm with you - this responsive layout on mobile devices - is it only with split planes? Meaning current forms that are designed to look this way via a vlayout/hlayout will need to be modified to use split panes?

Right, you need to start using a SplitPane to get the particular behavior shown in this sample. There is no other way that the framework could reliably detect which components were intended as navigation vs detail.

Ok - so other than that, it should be automatic? For example if I had an already existing set of layouts and I just insert that within a split pane, it should be ok? How is the width/height specification dealt with? If the layout has a specific pixel size, does this matter? If you have more documentation on this behaviour that I can read up on, that would be great

[Isomorphic]

Sure, the SplitPane class is fully documented. Just take a look at the SmartClient Reference in a 10.0 build.

And it looks like we would have to pay for this upgrade again?

[Isomorphic]

You never have to pay for an upgrade "again". But if you have never purchased 10.0 you would need to purchase it - check with your account manager.

:) If we want your new features, then yes, we would need to pay for it. Kind of like how we had to pay for 9.0 in order to get a feature that we had already paid for - but that is another matter. I will ask admin. Thanks/

We would never do that, so please raise this perception with your account admin as well to get that cleared up.
