I have written a program in VS/VB 2005 that I believe will be helpful in
designing Smartphone displays prior to deploying an emulator. It provides a
tool which locates and sizes labels with textboxes on each line of a panel.
It creates a label with a corresponding textbox in order to estimate the size
and location of data you want on the display. The program can be modified to
include any size display. It can also be modified to build a complete
display.
This version of the program automatically locates one field whose label and
textbox are on the same line. As the label gets larger the textbox gets
smaller and as the textbox gets larger the label gets smaller. It records
the size and location of the label and textbox for every character you type.
You can also relocate the label and textbox anywhere you want on the panel.
The tool can be used to quickly design an emulator form when you aren’t
certain about what will or will not be adequate as a label size for the
textboxes used for input. If used correctly it will eliminate overlap.
If anyone is interested notify me and I will forward detailed information of
what the program produces or if you prefer I will forward a copy of the
program with a copy of the designer file.
