Description | Use the mobileControlSet command to set properties
of a native mobile control created using mobileControlCreate.
propertyName listing:
Global properties (All native mobile controls)
"rect": the bounds of the control, relative to the top-left of the
card. For example "0,0,100,100".
"visible": set to true or false to determine whether the control
should be displayed.
"alpha": set to an integer value between 0 and 255 to blend the
control with any controls underneath it.
"backgroundColor": Set to either a standard color name, or a string of
the form red,green,blue or red,green,blue,alpha. Where the components
are integers in the range 0 to 255.
Global properties (All native iOS controls)
"opaque": set to false if the control should be rendered with
transparency. In particular, set this control to true if you set a
backgroundColor that is not fully opaque.
"ignoreVoiceOverSensitivity": set to true or false to determine
whether the control should be accessible through Voice Over.
*Note*: When setting the "ignoreVoiceOverSensitivity" property of a
native iOS control to "true", then this control can interact with
Voice Over. Remember to set this property back to "false" when this
control is no longer on the current view.
Browser Specific Properties
- "URL":
the URL to be loaded into the web-view.
"autoFit" (iOS Only): set to true or false to determine whether the
page is scaled to fit the rect of the control.
"delayRequests" (iOS Only): set to true to cause the loadRequest
message to be sent.
"dataDetectorTypes" (iOS Only): Use this property to specify the types
of data that should be automatically converted to clickable URLs in the
web-view. It is specified as a comma-delimited list of one or more of
the following properties:
- "phone number":
- "calendar event": iOS4.0+
- "link":
- "address":
iOS4.0+
"allowsInlinePlayback" (iOS Only): set to true if the web-view should
allow media files to be played 'inline' in the page.
"mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction" (iOS Only): set to false to allow
media files to play automatically in the webview.
"scrollingEnabled": specifies whether or not the browser can be
scrolled (boolean).
"canBounce": determines whether the scroller 'bounces' when it hits
the edge of the contentRect.
Scroller Specific Properties
"contentRect": The rectangle over which the scroller scrolls. This is
distinct from the scroller's rect. The minimum/maximum values of the
scroll properties (adjusted for the size of the scroller). This is a
comma-separated list of four integers, describing a rectangle. For
example "0,0,100,100".

appropriately for the size of the scroller (i.e. contentRect.left to
contentRect.right - rect.width).
"vScroll": The vertical scroll offset. This is an integer value
ranging between the top and bottom of the contentRect, adjusting
appropriately for the size of the scroller (i.e. contentRect.top to
contentRect.bottom - rect.height).
"hIndicator": Determines whether the horizontal indicator should be
displayed when scrolling (maps to the UIScrollView
showsHorizontalScrollIndicator property). This is a boolean value.
"vIndicator": Determines whether the vertical indicator should be
displayed when scrolling (maps to the UIScrollView
showsVerticalScrollIndicator property). This is a boolean value.

it hits the edge of the contentRect (maps to the UIScrollView bounces
property). This is a boolean value.
"canScrollToTop" (iOS Only): Determines whether a touch on the status
bar causes the scroll to scroll to the top (maps to the UIScrollView
scrollsToTop property). This is a boolean value.

multiples of the scroller's bounds (maps to the UIScrollView
pagingEnabled property). This is a boolean value.
"decelerationRate" (iOS Only): Determines the rate at which scrolling
decelerates when a finger is lifted (maps to the UIScrollView
decelerationRate property). This can be either normal, fast or a real
number*. Setting the real number currently has little effect above the
'fast' and 'normal' settings. While iOS accepts any real number, it
translates the number to one of those two settings.
"indicatorStyle" (iOS Only): Determines the style of indicators to
display (maps to the UIScrollView indicatorStyle property).

- "white"
- "black"
"indicatorInsets" (iOS Only): Determines how far from the edge of the

scroller cause scrolling (maps to the UIScrollView scrollEnabled
property). This is a boolean value.

the initial direction a drag occurs in (maps to the UIScrollView
directionalLockEnabled property). This is a boolean value.

filename of the player automatically 'prepares' the movie for playback.
Note: If the filename set for a player is invalid or the file is missing,
the video controller will display incorrectly. To check if a player is
set up correctly, the following code could be used:
if mobileControlGet(sPlayerID, "duration") 0 then
answer "Player is not initialised correctly"
end if
"showController": Determines whether the controller is displayed over
the content. This is a boolean value.
"currentTime": The current position of the playhead, measured in

should preserve its aspect ratio when scaled to fit within the control's
bounds. This is a boolean value.

measured in milliseconds. This is an integer value. Set to -1 to make
the video to play to the end.
"playRate" (iOS Only): The current playback rate for the player. This
represents a multiplier for the default playback rate of the current
content. A value of 0.0 indicates playback is stopped, while a value of
1.0 indicates normal speed. Positive values indicate forward playback,
while negative values indicate reverse playback. This is a real value.
