Getting the clicktext from a browser control

2016-01-12 Thread J. Landman Gay

This isn't so much about 'multi-platform' development but about designing apps for different interaction / display combinations. I'd say the key thing is to separate your design into modelcontroller and view. In the ideal case a UI is a 'thin' layer on top of an API based model which encodes al
