App Orientation (BlueStacks)

The BlueStacks emulator opens in landscape mode every time, and can only be switched to portrait after an app is running. The sample Smart Skills apps provided at the Download link for each project have therefore been updated to set the Screen1 property ScreenOrientation to Portrait. This automatically switches BlueStacks to portrait mode when the app is launched.

This change also forces the Nox emulator to switch to portrait mode when the app is launched, however with Nox it is possible to configure the initial screen size and orientation in the Advanced Settings, which should be set to Phone and 480x800 for optimum compatibility with the apps.

This change has no effect on ARC Welder orientation, which must be set when an app is first loaded in each session, as described in the previous post.
