[news.eclipse.technology.ercp] Re: eSWT on Win Mobile 5.0

["Jim Duffy" <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah! ok, that did the trick.

A few observations when looking at the 'eSWT Demo' on WinMob 5 emulator

1.    Tabbed panes are being displayed on the top of the screen rather then 
the bottom which is default for Windows Mobile (multi page dialog). Not sure 
if positioning is up to the VM or developers can explicity specify tab 
locations.

2.    the very bottom toolbar looks a little bit differently than the native 
one. in WinMob 5, the 'Keyboard' button is positioned in the moddle of the 
bar. In the demo, it is showing up on the far right. Also, when the keyboard 
is hidden, the button and toolbar color are a light blue. When the keyboard 
is displayed, the keyboard button only shows up in the darker blue that the 
native toolbar is in, however the rest of the toolbar remains a lighter 
blue.

Thanks again,

Jim
