Universal, Mobile & Desktop Objects

Post by townsend » Tue May 17, 2011 10:46 pm

There are three button types. What are the differences?
If-- I want to deploy to both Mobile and Desktop platforms--
which one should I use?

I see, in the Dictionary, there is a Platforms column, but I never see any
references to the iOS or Android platforms. Should there be?

Also--I don't see any Tools listed in the Dictionary. Does that means that all
the objects on the Tools pallet are universal and will work on all desktop
and mobile platforms? Even the Data Grid?

And what about the iOS and Android native functions?
Is there some place beside the Dictionary where I can look for particulars?

Thanks-- what a great development platform--
to be able to deploy to all platforms from one code base!

I talked a little about button types here. There's really only one button type, and one field type, and so on.

Tools are not platform specific and can be used anywhere.

Android and iOS help is under the Help menu in the release notes, which will be integrated into the dictionary when both are final.
