Orientation

Description

The Orientation control puts up a full screen message if the orientation changes. If your app is only designed to run in Portrait mode and the user rotates to Landscape, it will black out the screen and ask the user to rotate back. The previous content of the screen will display once this happens. It can also be set to make Landscape the allowed orientation.
