LongRange Developer Forum

A very common piece of feedback fro the deployment of our app last year was that the context menu item (little box with blue bar near top) was hard to hit.

I find that this is the case myself and often find that it takes two three tries to get it to work.

Is there any change that the facility to set the size of this item could be made available either simply as setting (small, medium,large) or styled as standard button(with dropdown) variation thus sized by font?

The users generally loved doing their jobs via the iPad but this was a consistent gripe.

Cheers

Could you send me a screen shot, showing the bit that the users have trouble hitting? I'd like to be sure exactly what needs to be changed.

A new feature will be available soon. You will be able to programmatically customise your context menu icon to whatever shape and size you want:

It will be something like this:

Must be done programmatically (no LongRange Studio support)
Need to setup a Local Object Generator program and execute the required code there. (An example of such a program is LREX0314)
(Enrol this in the schema under --> Schema Properties --> Application Settings --> Local Objects Generator)

In the local object generator program you set a special (system) shared state called ContextMenuIcon that indicates whether custom icon should be used.
#Com_Owner.Set Property('/SysStates.ContextMenuIcon') to('abacus_32.png')

You need to enrol the icon image (e.g. abacus_32.png) in the schema --> Schema Properties --> Application Resources

Sounds good. Thanks for the quick response.
