Same problem - ie portrait resolution of bb 10 simulator on laptop.

Can I set the default "Launch" orientation from QNX IDE ?

(I launched an simple OpenGL app and am now struggling to change to landscape, also not sure yet how to stop application again - still looking ..

Look at sample helloforeignwindow.

Try setting:

        preferredWidth: 1280
        preferredHeight: 768

Hi

What is the minimal amount of code I need to use to change the resolution?

I tried to change:

    buffer_size[0] = 320;
    buffer_size[1] = 240;
    rc = screen_set_window_property_iv(screen_win, SCREEN_PROPERTY_BUFFER_SIZE, buffer_size);
    if (rc) {
        perror("screen_set_window_property_iv");
        bbutil_terminate();
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

in bbutil_init_egl

But that still opens the application in Portrait mode (in simulator), although the simulator is set to Landscape before I launch the app from IDE.

(Note: I also set "navigator_rotation_lock(true);"

This works on BB10 Beta (10.0.0.6):

0. Launch your simulator and note the IP address it gets

1. Go to where the simulator VM is installed (in my case: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_06)

2. Go to the "controllers" folder

3. Run "controller.exe" 

4. Select Connection > Connect

5. Type the simulator's IP address and press Connect  (verify it says "Connected to 192.168.xxx.xxx" on the bottom of the screen)

6. Go to Device > Change Zoom Level; enter 50%, then Apply 

7. ENJOY

You could also accomplish this from the command line.  If you telnet to the simulator using devuser/devuser as the login/password you can ves-zoom from the command line to resize the simulator.

Please refer to the simulator documentation for more information!

Great thanx. Will try.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I am trying to change the zoom settings in the simulator. I tried both the controller path and the telnet path but nothing happens.

I have VMplayer 5.0.1 and BB10 simulator 0_0_9_386
