What sort of screen should I use?

[Martin]

I need to write a smallish program, designed for a touch screen.

I need the program to start up into a simple screen with no file edit
menu and a few push buttons and a bbrowser, will be a few pop ups of
traditional DataDialogs.

What should I use as the screen type for this program?

Thanks

Martin

I wouldn't try that with VO. .Net has lots more support for the latest
technology (touchscreens included). I would suggest a WPF/Silverlight
screen. Here's a sample with full (C#) source code:

If you're not familiair (at all) with C# things will get difficult,
with some but not major C# knowledge you may want to convert code to
Vulcan using Reflector, so the code looks more VO like which is
definitely an advantage. Not everything converted will work without
adapting however.

Here are some other links:

Needs to be written in a week, so has to be VO, large buttons are no
problem, it does need a bbrowser with array server. I already have a
large amount of back end code.

Just that every VO application I have written has been a MDI using
ShellWindow.

It is to be used in a clean room.
