How to Work with Projects > Project Properties

Overview

The "Target Device" tab enables the device's selection (manufacturer and model) for the project.

Only unpublished projects can have their settings edited.

Once the MCL-Designer V4 product is activated, it will automatically install new device plug-ins and add them to the target device list every time it starts.

Change Device
Manufacturer	Select the manufacturer using the corresponding drop-down list.
Model	Select the model using the corresponding drop-down list.

A plugin/model marked with an "(A)" refers to a device with an Android OS.

A plugin/model with the reference "(legacy)" refers to the use of outdated device plugins - meaning, there are up-to-date plugins available for the selected target device.

If required, you can modify the style of a control (ex: font size) for better adjustment to the overall device resolution. Any style modification in a control will be applied to all controls with that same style.

If required, use the option to filter the displayed items by manufacturer.

Click in the "Select Device" window.

Once the target device is selected, you can view the corresponding device info.
