Labels in PDA applications

[lleida]

Hello!

I am working with the PDA module, but I have a little problem: when I create the PDA executable, I cannot visualize in the sreen of the device all the labels that I can see in the Pc.

I don't understand what's wrong because sometimes these labels appears in the screen and sometimes not.

Could anybody tell me what I have to do to solve it?

Thanks

On the PDA screen, fonts don't look exactly the same as on the development PC's screen. This does not apply only to labels, but also for indicators and controls.
There are two possibilities:
a) increase the label size
b) reduce the font size
Personally I would choose the first solution for maximum readability.
How much to increase/reduce is a matter of experience.

Hello Paolo.

I think that the font size is not problem, but the labels don't appear in the PDA sreen. I would like to know why these labels sometimes appear in the screen and sometimes not. I mantain the same label properties for the PC and the PDA application.

Thank you!

Do you mean that a given label sometimes appears, sometimes not on the PDA?
If you post an example (preferably one vi) I can try myself.

An example. Labels don't appear.

Hi Greta,
this example is very interesting... It doesn't work for me, too. I have good news and bad news for you.
Good news: if you compress your controls layout to the upper part of the screen, all labels reappear (see the attached vi, this is a modification of the original).
Bad news, perhaps less important:
a) the gap picture does not scale in the PDA screen, it appears very large
b) when you click to another tab, then back to the main tab, a portion of the label "Estadis d'execució" disappears; probably it hidden by something else, I have no idea what else; you may thinking about moving controls to different places in order to avoid this
As a final consideration, if you consider that all this sound like a bug (or even multiple bugs), you can never trust on the ability of the PDA module to correctly show your control layout; in the future, you may find yourself searching again for workarounds on a trial-error basis; not a very smart way to work!
