I just created a stack with a single button and a single field named
"MyField" containing the following script:
On MouseUp
Ask "What is your name?"
Get it
put it into field "MyField"
End mouseUp
It runs fine in both orientations, but the sticky wicket is that it
does not allow input from the stylus--not even if you try to use the
Tablet PC Input Panel (the insert button is dimmed out on the Input
Panel). So the only way to enter text is by the keyboard. And THAT
is problematic when the tablet is in portrait orientation because the
keyboard is hidden behind the tablet screen. It IS possible but it is
very kludgy. And, more importantly, you can NOT enter handwritten
text. Or maybe you can and I just don't know how to capture such input.
Sorry.

Marian,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like most simple stacks should run
fine. Most of my text input would be pretty simple. I wonder if when
the screen is rotated the working ScreenRect returns values
consistent with the new screen orientation.

Hi,
Anyone try using Rev with a Tablet PC lately. I don't have one of
these machines but I have a client who is thinking of getting one.
There hasn't been any discussion on the list about these devices
recently but in some older posts there were issues with stylus
input into Rev fields. Is that still an issue?
Tim,
I have a tablet but do most of my development on a Mac and then
port over to Windows. So I don't have experience actually CREATING
stacks on a tablet but I do have a little experience running ported
stacks on it (see my reply to your second question below.
If you are talking about entering text into an input field using
the stylus, I haven't tried that, but I'll see if I can get around
to creating a little stack to test it. If you could give a
specific example, I'll try to implement that.
Are there other issues related to the touch screen? Is it possible
to accommodate the screen twisting and changing orientation at
runtime?
I have a stack that was initially designed to be 800X400 (to allow
it to play even in Win 95). It uses graphic buttons, radio buttons
and check boxes and works fine on my HP 2710p tablet running
Vista. The only issue is that when I rotate the screen, the stack
is a bit too wide to display completely in portrait view. The fit
is pretty close, so I didn't even notice it until you asked, but I
suspect a stack that is much wider than 800 pixels won't work very
well.
HTH.
Marian
