Hi Shenn;

   Great tip!

  That works 100% in both PowerServer web browser and IWA applications ...

I use this function below to determine whether the user is running on a Tablet.  It works great for PB.  I haven't used PowerServer so I don't know if it will work with that.

 

//Global External Function

function int GetSystemMetrics(int nIndex) library 'User32.dll'

//f_isTabletPC()

//Determines if the computer is a Tablet PC
int SM_TABLETPC = 86

IF (GetSystemMetrics(SM_TABLETPC) <> 0) THEN
return true
else
return false
END IF

Hi Pinkesh;

    I am not sure how to detect a "tablet" vs a "PC" but I suspect that you might be able to figure this out by analyzing the "hardware" signature (just a guess).

   A quick test suggestion: Download my STD Framework's OrderEntry App and run the EXE on the tablet. Reviewing the log might be a key to what the framework detected under the "End User / Machine / Environment" section. For example ...

 

FYI:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/stdfndclass/files/Applications/PowerBuilder/OrderEntry

HTH

Regards ... Chris
