Detect Windows Tablet orientation change

Hi all

I'm wanting to detect any orientation change on windows tablets (landscape to portrait etc) so that the windows can change layout. I believe the event I should be listening for is 'orientationchange', however this isn't in the sypplied windows constants file. I've searched but haven't found the numeric value of that constant. Does anyone know it? Note I'm doing this manually because I can't find any automated function for it in WD23.

Hallo Paul,

you can use "Resize WINDOW". You find this in the Window-Code. Then you compare the Height and the width fom the Window. Sorry, I have no example code.

Hi Christoph

Unfortunately that event doesn't fire when changing screen orientation, as the window doesn't automatically resize.

More suggestions are definitely welcome as I still haven't solved this problem!

Hi Paul,

What's your configuration?
If it is UWP (Universal Windows 10 Platform) I think it should work out of the box.

Hi Peter

Testing on a Dell Win10 laptop / tablet. My WD23 app doesn't detect orientation change, although WD23 (and other programs) do.

Forgot to say this is a standard desktop app.
