Profile objects for different presentation engines

Create dynamic links between Boolean properties of objects and the {Session}/IsNative and {Session}/IsWeb aliases. You can then display different objects using different presentation engines.

Tip: Download a sample project: ProfileObjects.zip

Figure 1. Native presentation engine and Web presentation engine.
This example shows an application that displays two different objects based on the presentation engine.

Prerequisites

Create a native presentation engine and a web presentation engine. See Configure presentation engines.
Create objects that you want to profile. See Create a graphic object from a type.

For example, create two rectangles of different colors.

To profile objects for different presentation engines

In Project view, select an object to profile.

For example, select a rectangle.
In Properties, create a dynamic link between a Boolean property and either:
- Aliases > {Session} > Session > UI Session > Native session
- Aliases > {Session} > Session > UI Session > Web session
For more information about dynamic links, see Create dynamic links.

For example, create a dynamic link between the Visible property of the object and Aliases > {Session} > Session > UI Session > Native session to make the object visible in the native presentation engine only.
In Project view, select an object to profile.

For example, select another rectangle.
In Properties, create a dynamic link between a Boolean property and either:
- Aliases > {Session} > Session > UI Session > Native session
- Aliases > {Session} > Session > UI Session > Web session
For more information about dynamic links, see Create dynamic links.

For example, create a dynamic link between the Visible property of the object and Aliases > {Session} > Session > UI Session > Web session to make the object visible in the native presentation engine only.

The native presentation engine and web presentation engine display different objects.
