Home Page Applets
To configure a Home Page applet, create an applet that has controls of HTML Type Button only. Use the following guidelines in creating your Home Page applets:
- Set the MethodInvoked property of these controls to GotoView. Then add a user property for the control, and set the Name parameter to "View" and set the Value parameter to the view name.
- Set the Caption field.
- Set the HTML Sequence field according to the order in which the buttons are laid out on the device. The buttons appear on the Home Page applet of the handheld device, laid out in rows of three buttons.
- Set the class property of the Applet to CSSFrameCEHome.
All pick data is not downloaded to the device due to the memory constraints on the device. Only pick data for fields that are editable is downloaded. Therefore, if you are doing a query on a pick field, you may not be able to display the picklist. When viewing a record in an applet, if a pick field is read-only, its pick button will be disabled. If end-users select a read-only field with a pick control, they receive the following error: No data available in picklist because field is read-only.
Data in picklists are filtered like any other data in a handheld application. For information on how to filter picklists, see Data Filtering.
NOTE: Catalogs control visibility of data in pick applets. To make sure that pick applets contain valid data, the administrator must add data to a relevant catalog and make sure users have visibility to the catalog using the Catalog screen's Access Groups view tab.
