Choosing a Px Media type
Choosing a media type has specific benefits that help you get started when you first create a new view on a component and while you are working in the Px Editor.

NOTE: Media values affect the initial contents of a Px file when you create it. Changing a view’s
Media type (on a component property sheet) after the Px file is created does not actually change the Px file.In addition to the default, WbPxMedia type, you can select one of the following when creating a new view on a component:
- HxPxMedia
Choosing this media type provides you with a Px file that has a ScrollPane with a CanvasPane. With this property value set, the Px Editor can warn you, as you design your Px file, if you choose a widget that is not supported by Hx media.

- ReportPxMedia
Assigning this media type when creating a new Px page, creates a new Px file with a Report Pane containing a timestamp and page numbering at the root of the Px file.

- MobilePxMedia
You must use a BasicMobilePane at the root of your Px page so it will display correctly on a mobile device. Assigning a MobilePxMedia type when creating a new Px page, causes the new page to come with a BasicMobilePane at the root of the Px file, as shown in the following figure.

NOTE: Starting in AX-3.8, setting the CanvasPanescaleModeproperty toFit Ratiowill cause your Px page to automatically to scale to fit various device display sizes.
