Doc | I read about "full touch support" of EWB2.
My EWB1 projects do have "touch support" on mobile phones in the way I can work with them, text input, click buttons etc. Now with EWB2 projects it is basically the same BUT within a Form (I use TDialog) it is not possible to resize the form or scroll over the screen, I have to do this outside of the form. With mobile phones having a quite small screen this is a disadvantage comparing to EWB1 projects, for the form takes most of the screen. So I would like to have the possibility to enable this resize and scroll function within the form like I know it from EWB1 projects. |

Uli Becker | Just wait for the final release - touch support is not finished, as you
can read in this newsgroup. Uli |

I hope you are right and at least you can scroll the form by tapping on it in the final release. At the moment most of the EWB2 demo examples like http://www.elevatesoft.com:8081/formsubmit/formsubmit.html will not work on my iPhone5, the Sumit Button is not reachable. |

Form's can have scrollbars, and you can set a form to layout in any way that you want within the confines of the browser window. Are you referring to the inability to zoom in and out ? If so, then this is not recommended for mobile web applications. I'll probably go ahead and allow it at some point, but normally you should expect to design mobile web applications *within the dimensions of the available screen area*, without any zooming.

Doc | My iPhone offen zooms in when I tap on a TEdit control.
After that it is difficult to zoom out because it can not be done within the form. Even worse, it is not possible to scroll the form. No problem with EWB1 projects. Have you ever tried your demo examples on an iPhone ? It is not possible to work with them because they are shown too large for the screen and you can't zoom out and you can't scroll. |

They're not responsive (other than centering), and you can't zoom in and out (see my last post). EWB 1 didn't have any touch support at all, so it punted and let the browser do whatever it was normally going to do. However, EWB 1 also disabled zooming on mobile, so I'm not sure what you're describing. I'll have to test them out to see if I can replicate what you're seeing.

<< I sent you an email with some links where you can see my problems using a smartphone. >> Okay, I see now what you're trying to get: what you want is to be able to size the TSurface (used to be TDesktop) to a specific size in order to force scrollbars on the browser. By default, the TSurface instance for the application is initialized as positioned top/left and stretching bottom/right, with the assumption that if you want scrollbars/scrolling, you'll add them to your form accordingly for the areas that need to scroll. This is more in line with the responsive requirements for mobile applications. I'll cover this in more detail after the release is out. Right now I really can't spare the time to put together a demo for you, but I'll modify the example applications to behave like what you're expecting. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Meanwhile I found out that it's not just a touch problem. It ist a problem of lacking "scrollability" of EWB2 forms. I use the EWB projects in an embedded manner on a website. And if you have a smaller browser window which doesn't take the whole site it is not possible to scroll with the mouse wheel while the cursor is over the form. This is a very annoying behavior, in my opinion the EWB forms should behave like Java applets (which I used before, but unfortunately Java applets are sort of dead due to infinite security issues and more and more restrictions) or like embedded Flash forms. If you take your EWB2 demo: http://www.elevatesoft.com:8081/formsubmit/formsubmit.html an make the browser window small so that it ist smaller than the form there is no way to scroll the form using the mouse wheel an no scroll bars appear. The old EWB1 demo: http://www.elevatesoft.com:8080/formsubmit/formsubmit.html does show scroll bars an scrolling by mouse wheel is possible. At the moment I have some problems to like that new behavior of EBW2 forms. |

<< That sounds to me like I have some exotic wishes, but I don't think so. >> That's not what I said. I was simply trying to figure out what you were asking for. And, as I said, I will post a demo of how to do what you want as soon as I get a chance. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
