Hiding Safari UI Elements

You can make your Web site mimic a native iPhone application by launching the C1ViewPort control or the C1LaunchPad control in full-screen mode, which removes the URL text bar at the top of the screen and the button bar at the bottom of the screen. When full-screen mode is engaged, only a status bar will appear on the top of the screen (see Minimizing the Status Bar).

Note: In order to enable the full-screen mode on an iPhone or iPad, you must follow these steps to add the Web page to the iPad/iPhone Home Screen:

1)   Hit the +button at the bottom button bar.

2)   Select Add to Home Screen.

3)   Add your Web page to the Home Screen.

4)   Tap the newly created Home Screen icon.

Complete the following steps:

1.   Select the C1ViewPort or C1LaunchPad control.

2.   In the Properties window, set the FullScreenCapable property to True.
