A Full-Screen application

Make an application which takes up the full screen and which has two children side-by-side, one taking up one-third of the application's width, and one taking up two-thirds (see FIGURE 5.29).

FIGURE 5.29 : Application with two justified children.

Test the application while the screen is rotated and verify that the application and its child views are wider.

Note:In order for your application to run in rotated mode, you'll need to add to your application base template a ReOrientToScreen slot with the contents ROM_DefRotateFunc (for more information on ReOrientToScreen, see "ReOrientToScreen()" on page 152).

A QuickTime movie of the solution is available, as is the completed project for different platforms (Mac OS, Windows 3.1 or Windows 95/NT).
