FactoryMaster blogged about us.

Our partner - FactoryMaster - blogged about our cooperation on their company blog here.

Tab Control

We created a sample application which shows how TabControl can be made of a ToolBar and TPanelVista.

A TabControl can be used as an alternative to a scrollable panel. The contents of a scrollable panel can be distributed among the pages of a TabControl. Also the icons of the ToolBar can be finger-scrolled therefore you can have many more "tabs" using this approach compared to traditional System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.

The sample application can be found here.

Component Suggestions

If you did not find a component you are looking for on Bee Mobile web site, you can suggest a component at the bottom of the products web site at http://beemobile4.net.

You can either suggest a component for .NET Compact Framework or for Windows Phone 7 platform.

Video tutorials

We have released more video tutorials demonstrating the usage and capabilities of Bee Mobile components. Currently you can watch video tutorials for these components:

• ComboBox


• MonthCalendar


• OpenSaveDialog


• TouchList


• TVistaButton

New component - MonthCalendar

We are glad to announce the release of new .NET CF GUI component - MonthCalendar. It is useful for prompting users to choose a date - particularly a day within month. The user can navigate forwards and backwards between the current and next or previous month using his finger. MonthCalendar animates the transition between the months giving the application appealing look. You can also highlight holidays and planned appointments in the calendar.

TouchList supports CheckBoxes

Bee Mobile TouchList component (used to create lists of items or menus) - now contains a new ItemStyle - ItemStyleCheckBox. When added to TouchList's row style it can contain check boxes within the rows thus extending the functionality and usability of this component.

You can download a sample Visual Studio project demonstrating this feature on this link.

Video tutorials

In an effort to decrease the time needed to grasp the behavior of Bee Mobile iPack controls we have started creating video tutorials which are available on You Tube.

The first video tutorial has been released today for TVistaButton control.

You can view it here.

Data binding support and slide features in TouchList control.

The new version of TouchList control (.NET CF GUI component - substitute for ListView) can now be bound to data source. Plus it has ability to slide to the left or to the right taking away the old list of items and bringing the new one into the view.

You can download and test the sample project which demonstrates this functionality at:
here.

The sample shows how TouchList can be bound to:
Array
List
DataTable
SQL CE Database (sdf file)
