<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-8FF9D0CE-D891-4731-97EA-637E3DC43B8F">[void] window.widget.setDisplayLandscape(void) </pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-4CB73AE8-D725-4E60-B77A-0072BA9CB14C">[void] widget.setDisplayLandscape(void)</pre>
<p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
<p>This method does not take any arguments.</p>
<p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
<p>This method does not return a value.</p>
<p><strong>Remarks:</strong></p>
<p><code>setDisplayLandscape()</code> should be used only if a device supports screen orientation changes. To check this, use the <a href="GUID-6CD85E8A-698E-4BE2-B965-887E66E51ACC.html#GUID-6CD85E8A-698E-4BE2-B965-887E66E51ACC"><code>isrotationsupported</code></a> property.</p>
<p>This method only changes the orientation of the screen. It does not change the behavior of other UI components of a device such as the softkeys and their associated keys.</p>
<p>For more information on handling screen orientation changes in a widget, see <a href="GUID-36CDDA1B-3B62-4936-9E06-7935AAD1CD77.html#GUID-36CDDA1B-3B62-4936-9E06-7935AAD1CD77">Designing for dynamic screen orientation</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Example code:</strong></p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-378086C9-48D4-463D-AFCA-C030B00FD724">if (widget.isrotationsupported)
// change the screen orientation
widget.setDisplayLandscape();</pre>
