I have a hobby of working with engine management systems. I have developed the ECU, firmware and the application software. I now wish to migrate my PC VB6 application to B4A. I have ideas how to do most of the migration. It involves a few screens, to reduce the single screen VB6 complexity. The system communications is RS232. I have already tested bluetooth examples with B4A.
I am uncertain how to replicate the reduced VT100 terminal that is used to modify many operating parameters. I use windows api calls, mainly TEXTOUT to write and modify text attributes at desired screen locations. The user keys navigate, and + or - keys are used to increment or decrement a parameter. It is efficient, since only areas that change are rewritten, also serial communications is low data volume.
I have considered using Tables for the presentations, and means to adjust values.
It there a better way?
