In development - WM7

[Deleted member 143833]

Below are images of a WM7 app I have in the works and I'm most interested in feedback about the control but all comments are welcome. More specifically I changed to a delayed save operation so you can change any number of outlets and do 1 update. I don't really like the current model where you change 1, save 1 so I'm trying something different. The menu is shown when you press and hold an outlet.

It isn't finished; still wating for Verizon to get WM7 phones so I have time to work on it more.

The connection management screen; yes, you can add name, comments and an image if you want (from image gallery or camera).

Live general information about the controller:

Live outlet status:

Live edit; I went with a context menu vs other methods used in the past for reasons that will be clear in the next slide

Notice how you can make any number of changes to outlets and save them all at once. This is the most annoying think in my current mobile apps; the 1-at-a-time save. Note save button now enabled.

Certainly you need to control the feed cycles:

And it would be nice to see the probe reading

Program review (save it easy to add; still thinking about it):

And if your outlet uses a wizard the program is displayed in a wizard form just like the Apex would.

The app looks great.

But my hat's off to you in the delayed save option! Having spent a large part of my career as an application architect and interface designer, I'm real comfortable saying the "outlet by outlet" Apex modification framework is seriously flawed. It does not take into consideration reasonably complex setups consisting of multiple outlet changes as a part of single functional change.

Good job of realizing that. And Thank You for helping out those of us (probably a large majority) that step beyond the most simple examples of Apex programming. This in a nice step forward. Thank you.

I have 3 APEXs in the house so support for multiples would be nice

Keep up the good work and thanks!

And I thought I was in the minority for the number of Apexs...

Yes, this can have a connection list only limited by memory in the phone.
