Standard vs bootstrap

[cyracks]

Hello,

I am planning to build new mobile application, but can not decide on which components to use, standard or bootstrap.

Could you please explain what is the purpose of bootstrap components or what are pros/cons compared to standard components.

Regards,
Tomaž

Hi cyracks,

The current mobile suite, is built under the jQuery Mobile Framework, and Bootstrap Suite under popular Bootstrap Framework.

The Bootstrap Suite, is not completed, and have only basic components, but more flexible for design and custimization.

it's a new suite, with new structure and design model.

Best Regards.

Hi Alexander,

as I said I am planning to create a new mobile application (200h+ of work) and I would like to chose components that are "better". In the past I tried to build two/three mobile applications but I had problems with design. While developing/designing layout was not the same as when it was accessed with browser (alignment). I assume bootstrap components are also addressing this issue ? I also assume that you have an intention of actively supporting bootstrap components in the future ?

Thank you for the help.

Do you maybe know when are you planning to release non beta version of bootstrap (I was testing it today and now I know why it is a beta).

Hello

I was testing it today and now I know why it is a beta

It would help us a lot if you told what you mean with that

- TIWCGBSButton - in design time button is barely seen (caption is not seen, borders are almost the same as background).
- TIWCGBSPanel - when trying to move panel up (by clicking and dragging with mouse), the panel "jumped" further down as it was before the move.

Your form must be TIWCGAppForm descendant

Did you take a look at

CGIW\IWCGBootstrap\demos\CGBSDemo\CGBSDemo.dpr ?

What is the proper way to add TIWCGAppForm type of form ? I expected to find the form in File -> New -> Other -> CGDevTools, but it is not there.

[Jorge Sousa]

Hi

Just replace TIWAppForm with TIWCGAppForm in the form code, and reopen

Thx, also unit IWCGJQControl must be added to uses clause.
