That SDK is useless, since OS randomly resets DIA state and what is
allowed and not allowed (collapsibility, rotateability, orientation)
as long as you are guaranteed to be running on OS 5.4+ the best way is
to manipulate the fields directly. This causes the DIA to not jerk up
and down. and allows some stranger states to be set in per-form
manner. Eg a form's dia policy can be "dia always up, form always
shown in portrait, rotation disabled collapsing enabled) this means
that when form is shown device will rotate to portrait alwasy, open
dia, but allow collapsing and disallow rotation. The parameters are:
orientation: {port,land,rev port, rev land}
collapsibility: {yes, no}
rotateability: {yes, no}
original dia state: {up, down}
thus making for 32 combinations.
If anyone is actually interested, I can share the info
