FARSHAD, please add this feature. I have all the code shown below. Works nice. I wanted a /d switch to force desktop mode, just like /m forces mobile mode. I searched and searched and only found one mediocre solution. It required that you change the ServerModule.UniServerModule.Options:=serverModule.UniServerModule.Options-[soAutoPlatformSwitch]; P:=the URL without the /m so that it loads the Desktop version UniSession.UrlRedirect(P); With this logic, it mostly worked, but would hang sometimes. Also, it changes the way the server operates. IE: If ANOTHER user logs in on another session, there would be NO AUTO DETECT FOR THE PLATFORM SWITCH So, i discarded it. Also, there are a number of sites that describe how to get the iPad Safari to force desktop mode. My OLD iPad didn't have the available setting to do that AND if it DID work, it would force ALL web sites to use the desktop version. Couldn't make it site specific, like you can in chrome. The solution needs to EASY and not mess up other web sites... and not hang... and not mess up with the auto platform switching. SOOOOOooo, i added a new switch. I added the "/d" switch. Much like the /m forces the mobile mode, the /d forces the desktop mode. THis magic is done in the uniGUIServer.pas file. And inside the GetUniGUISession function. Add this in vars. ForceDeskTop:Boolean; //DLR Then add the ForceDesktop:=False in between the FServerMonitor and SessionClass initializations. FServerMonitor := False; ForceDeskTop:= False; // DLR SessionClass := TUniGUISession; Then after the check for the 'server' switch, add the check for the /d switch... ADoc := uniHTTPDocument(ARequest.Document); FServerMonitor := SameText(ADoc, 'server') and FAllowWebMonitor; if FServerMonitor then begin ARequest.Document := '/'; ADoc := ''; end; { DLR - Check for the /D switch } ForceDeskTop:= SameText(ADoc, 'd'); if ForceDeskTop then begin ARequest.Document := '/'; ADoc := ''; end; The final piece of the puzzle is to bypass the auto switch. So, place the new code after setting the ForceMobile variable. ForceMobile := (not Assigned(MainFormClass[TUniPlatformDesktop])) or ( (soAutoPlatformSwitch in FOptions) and (currPlatform = upMobile) ); { DLR Should i get rid of ForceMobile? } If ForceDeskTop Then ForceMobile:=False; So, essentially, if i find the /d then i ignore the auto switch. This allows for 3 ways to load the application... 1. somesite.com/mdemo.dll works for most cases and devices. 2. somesite.com/mdemo.dll/m allows you to force it show the MOBILE forms 3. somesite.com/mdemo.dll/d allows you to force it show the DESKTOP forms I know this is not elegant, but gives the "force desktop" capability without messing around with the server options that can affect other sessions. And you don't have to mess around with browser settings. To me this was the best solution. FARSHAD: Could you please add this /d capability so that others can also make use of this? 95% of the time the auto works great. But for iPads and tablets that are large enuf, its nice to view the DESKTOP version even though the stupid browser on the device might indicate that it's a mobile device. Make sense? Thanks DAvie

I'm using the Full Demo build 1205. I have an IPAD with Safari and Chrome installed. When I click on the "Download & Upload" then "Advanced Download", I can click on any of the 4 download buttons, but nothing happens. I don't see a visual clue that anythnig has happened. Is there an issue on the IPAD where we can't do the download function? I didn't try with FireFox since it's NOT my IPAD. So, I could only try with Safari and Chrome. Anybody else experience this?

Hi I am trying to use the Canvas demo on a Ipad but can't seem to draw. Sure I am doing something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Russell
