the main window of my app supports portrait mode. Now I have a settings
dialog which does not support portrait mode but it inherits those flags
from the main window.
So you'll have the main window in portrait mode, and there is a
possibility that a dialog in non-portrait mode appear?
No, the dialog is only accessible in landscape mode. But if the dialog
is open, I want it to stay in landscape mode.
I'm not a expert in usability, but this would be confusing for me, and
it would force me to rotate 90 degrees the device in order to read
properly the dialog.
There isn't any possibility to support the portrait mode in the
dialog?
Of course there is, but the dialog does not make much sense in portrait
mode because it also contains text fields. And of course it's additional
work.
Several other possible solutions.
* Change to portrait mode support of the parent window before showing
the dialog.
* Change settings dialog to a settings window.
* Remove settings option from the main window menu when it's in
portrait mode.
I think last would be nicest solution.
