This is addressed to the entire community....
First the context. I got fed up playing card games on the mobile with fiddly little cards. I wanted cards you could finger or thumb. So I decided to write my own, as we do! I started with the kiddies solitaire Elevens and then progressed to Thirteens (the needs thinking about, but comes out moderately often version). If any one wants to play they are of course on my Freeware page (see link in Signature).
So flushed with my success I thought I'd try another game. This one was only going to make sense played in Landscape mode. How to acheive that? Well, you have to trawl the cavernous and murky depths of this Forum, but you eventually find a zip file called PPCorient.zip which contains a complete set of utilities for doing this, all you have to do is use the Shell command.
All hunky-dory so far then. But when you run on the device, these utilities cause that irritating software from unknown source dialog, which, just to add insult to injury, you get twice, once at startup when you select Landscape and once at program exit when you reselect Portrait.
Now, these are pretty old utilities, so the question is, in the intervening years has anyone produced similar programs that don't hit that problem, or even better, has anyone bundled these functions into a B4PPC dll? If so, would it be possible to obtain a copy?
Thanks in advance
