Bug? loading 2 pages scaling become crazy

[imbault]

When loading a first page with AutoScaleRate(1) and AutoScaleAll, then a second page, when we show
the first page, it's like the Autoscale had no effect, controls are super big.

in this example
layout1 :
AutoScaleAll

layout2 :
AutoScaleRate(1)
AutoScaleAll

    Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
    Dim nc As NavigationController
    nc.Initialize("nc")

     ' in Sub Process_Globals
     ' Public NavControl As NavigationController

     NavControl = nc

    page1.Initialize("page1")
    page1.RootPanel.LoadLayout("layout1")

    page2.Initialize("HomePage")
    page2.RootPanel.Color = Colors.White
    page2.RootPanel.LoadLayout("layout2")
    page2.RootPanel.Color = Colors.Black
    NavControl.ShowPage(HomeScreen)

if I remove

     page1.Initialize("page1")
     page1.RootPanel.LoadLayout("layout1")

no problem

Can you post a small project showing the problem so we can see what exactly you have done and test it.

Sure, here it is

if you comment those 2 lines, it's ok

Page2.Initialize("page2")
    Page2.RootPanel.LoadLayout("layout2")

What exactly do you want to do ?
You have layout1 with one layout variant 1024 * 768 AutoScaleRate(1) and AutoScaleAll.
Then layout2 with two layout variants 1024 * 768 and 568 * 320 and only AutoScaleAll which means AutoScaleRate(0.3) the defalt value.
Then you add a view in code.
You should define the dimensions of the view, added in the code, in the Page_Resize routine only ther 100%x and 100%y are known.

I want to show the layout1

Thank you Klaus, can you give me an example to put in the page_resize in order to redimension the layout1 with it's AutoScaleRate(1) and AutoScaleAll.

I want to show the layout1

I don't have enough information.
On what kind of device do you want to display layout1 ?
Before testing I prefer to know in detail what to look at.

layout1, on a iphone6

Downscaling form an iPad layout to an iPhone layout seems not to work very well.
The main problem is the different width/height ratio.
Attached you have modified version with layout3 for an iPhone with AutoscaleRate(0.5) and anchors.
Doesn't look too bad.

Ok, thanks a lot Klaus
