Special features
The MobileForms Toolkit controls contain some powerful features which make them a perfect choice for mobile application development. Below are listed some of their special features:
Designed specifically for mobile devices
All components have been designed so that they perfectly suit the small display of mobile devices. Special optimizations ensure that all components provide sufficient application performance even on devices with limited memory and processor capabilities.
Touch Scroll functionality
The Touch Scroll feature allows the user to scroll the contents of MobileForms Toolkit controls comfortably using a thumb. Although Windows Mobile does not have a native support of touch scrolling in its API, the only thing developers need to do to take advantage of Touch Scroll, is to turn on one property in Visual Studio designer.
Supported controls:
- AdvancedList for .NET - vertical scrolling
- AdvancedTree for .NET - vertical scrolling
- SmartGrid for .NET - vertical and horizontal scrolling
- OutlookShortcutBar for .NET - vertical scrolling
- OutlookMonthCalendar for .NET - horizontal by months/years
- OutlookWeekCalendar for .NET - vertical by hours, horizontal by days/weeks
Anyone can download and try the demo application for Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices. It shows a filtered list of customers which can be comfortably scrolled with your thumb.
DelayLoad functionality
DelayLoad functionality allows you to load huge amounts of data from a data source in a short time. When the control is displayed, only the currently displayed data is loaded. Additional data is loaded as needed.
Supported controls:
- AdvancedList for .NET
- AdvancedTree for .NET
- SmartGrid for .NET
XML templates
The design and look of the control can be saved into an XML file either using the Visual Studio designer or the Resco designer application. The XML file can be then loaded back into the control at any time (also during run-time). This means the appearance of the control can be changed simply by calling a single LoadXml method.
Supported controls:
- AdvancedList for .NET
- AdvancedTree for .NET
- DetailView for .NET
- SmartGrid for .NET
- OutlookShortcutBar for .NET
