Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile devices has limited support for basic HTML functions, therefore the button icons used in Pick-IT ASP (since release 1240) will not show on Windows Mobile devices (as in contrast to 'Windows CE' devices, which has better support). To be able to use Pick-IT on Windows Mobile devices, the possibility was added to replace these icons with text abbreviations from Pick-IT release 1590.
Whether images or texts are to be used, is triggered by the new device configuration option "buttonIcons" in the configuration file Devices.config on the IIS server (or Web.config in earlier Pick-IT versions 1240-1608)
(partial view of devices.config)
buttonIcons="true" : default, button icons are shown (which results in buttons without icons on Windows Mobile)buttonIcons="false" : texts are shown Which texts to show is determined from the file ..\Mobile\Images\ImageText.XML in the Pick-IT IIS folder.So the complete filename may for example be c:\pickitmobile\Mobile\Images\ImageText.XML.(partial view of ImageText.XML)
By editing this file you can customize which text to show on the buttons, for each language. Only the English language is default configured after installing Pick-IT.The language code refers to the Globe ISO language code, linked to the Globe resource logging in to the mobile device.This way, for example, Dutch texts can be shown on the buttons:
Keep in mind however that space on a button is very limited.
Note: from Pick-IT release 1678 no other languages besides EN are supported yet. You can only change the default texts for 'EN' language ...
