[MeeGo-dev] Howto lock screen orientation in MeeGo/Tablet 1.2 ?
Hi, in my C++/QML application I want to lock the screen orientation to portrait mode. How I can I do that? There was a thread about this a month ago but without clear answer. I've got working solutions for Maemo5 and Symbian and now I'm testing on MeeGo/Tablet 1.2 on ExoPC. For MeeGo I'm using Qt::WA_LockPortraitOrientation which was included in Qt 4.7.2. Should it work? Are there other options? Thanks! Conny ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
