Database Version

This property is for your information only but it's accessible within your Project in runtime via the “DB_VERSION” Keyword. Its format and content is totally up to you.



Mobile Device
A Kalipso Project must be associated with a Mobile Device, which can be one in the list of devices shipped with Kalipso or one that you create yourself (Check Terminals for more information). Nonetheless, you can deploy your Project to almost any kind of PDA or Smartphone. Kalipso will use the properties of the Device you’ve defined, to define your Project's Forms size, as well as the physical keyboard information to provide you with its keys as an Event.


Device
Device associated with the Project

Form's size will be inherited from the Device's properties. To use keystrokes as an Event to trigger Actions, the keys available to be captured must be defined in the Device.


Display Width
Width of the Device's screen

This property is not editable; it displays the Width property of the chosen Device. This width will be used by the Forms of the Project so that you know the available working area.


Display Height
Height of the Device's Screen

This property is not editable; it displays the Height property of the chosen Device. This height will be used by the Forms of the Project so that you know the available working area.



Screen Orientation
Kalipso allows you to develop your Project whether for Portrait view or Landscape. By default, the orientation its defined by the size of the Device. Nonetheless, if you want your application to rotate along with the Device, you must enable it.


Management
Management of the Portrait/Landscape feature

Kalipso allows you to develop your Project whether for Portrait view or Landscape.

• <none> - No rotation.
• Auto - When switching between Portrait and Landscape, based on the Terminal size, Kalipso will resize and reposition the Forms and Controls automatically.
• Custom - This option allows you to define the size and position of each Form and Control in both Portrait and Landscape views. On Kalipso Main window, in the Main Toolbar, use the “Switch” button to switch between the Portrait and Landscape views.

Default View
Default view of the Project

This property lets you define in which view your Project should be: Portrait or Landscape. This property only gets enabled if you choose “Custom” option in the Management property.

Remarks

You can request Kalipso to redefine the size and position of a Form's Controls by right clicking it (the Form) in the Project's Tree. You can convert  Portrait to Landscape and vice-versa.                                            Duplicate       All sizes and positions are duplicated from one orientation to the other. Controls may not fit on the screen and/or not displayed. You may maximize the Form to check if there's any Control outside the screen.           Calculate       All sizes and positions are calculated from one orientation to the other. The final result is the same as it would be in runtime using Management set to Auto. This way, you can get an automatic position and size and then adjust them freely.
