What are the rules I need to follow, when creating a custom keyboard for a UITextView?
Is it OK to use a subclass of UIView?
Do I need to implement a specific protocol?
Should it contain a variable with a specific type and name?
Anything else?
At this point I have already made my own keyboard with the buttons; and it shows up when the UITextView object becomes the FirstResponder as expected. But I cannot use it and I would like to know if there is a "proper way" or if I just have to find my own way to make things work.
Thanks in advance.
Set inputView property of UITextView with your custom keyboard & refer to this link:
UITextView inputView

How do I change the color of the text in the UIDatePicker View. Should I use attributed strings?
Thanks
According to Apple's UIKit User Interface Catalog, developers are not allowed to customise date pickers. It has been said already around...

Life's tough!
Well actually you can:

I'm not 100% sure if its allowed or not but it works like a charm.
I'm having a bit of trouble with custom action buttons in the honeycomb+ action bar. I'm adding a menu item that uses a custom layout (using the android:actionLayout attribute). The reason for the custom layout is that I want a button that has two lines of text that can be updated dynamically.
However, I still want this action button to operate like the other standard buttons. By this I mean that the background fades in when the button is selected, and fades out again if it is unselected, all in the style of the platform (the colour seems to differ between different platforms/devices - I've seen both grey and blue versions)
I've tried using the action button style for the custom layout:
style="#android:style/Widget.ActionButton"
and I've tried setting the background for the custom layout to:
android:background="?android:attr/actionBarItemBackground"
but to no avail, and I'm kind of trying things fairly randomly as I can't find any documentation on how to do this (or if indeed it is even possible).
I know I can approximate this behaviour myself by setting the background, but it would be nice if I could just set the item to behave like a normal action button in terms of how it appears when the user interacts with it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Ah, sorry to answer my own question but I have just stumbled upon a way to do this. I was halfway there - you need your custom layout's style to inherit from ActionButton:
#android:style/Widget.ActionButton
but then you also need to make the layout clickable:
android:clickable="true"
for it to work. Using both of these makes the custom action buttons look just like the regular ones when you press them.
Hopefully that'll help someone trying to do this!
I'm using a CMFCLinkCtrl in my custom dialog that inherits from CDialog. The CMFCLinkCtrl is set dynamically using data that is set by the user in another part of the application, so I have to handle long urls.
Is there a way to have the link control truncate what is displayed in the dialog and add an ellipse to the end? Currently the control is wrapping to the next line when it is too long to fit in the dialog or sees the "//" in the http://.
Static controls have an SS_ENDELLIPSIS style that does exactly what you want, but unfortunately this won't work with CMFCLinkCtrl which is derived from CButton. So you have two choices:
Use a static control with the SS_ENDELLIPSIS style, but you'll have to set the text colour and font yourself, and handle click events and open the URL manually.
Subclass CMFCLinkCtrl and add custom drawing code to add the ellipsis.
I think you're out of luck. You'll have to do what casablanca said or without subclassing truncate the text yourself (calculate the font size and link control size) and set it using SetWindowText.
You can easily resize the control to contain the entire text using SizeToContent, but I don't think this works for you.
is it possible to display a certain string in Textmate in a custom color?
Lets say I want to display the string "myCoolFunction()" always in yellow so I can see better where I use the function in my documents.
Actually it was possible. I modified the language pack. I am working with JavaScript so I edited the JavaScript language pack in TextMate. You have to create a new scope selector with a simple regex. After that you can create a new color rule in the settings and there you have it.
No, there aren't any syntax selectors for specific functions.
I need help for, scribbling on the webpage i.e where ever the user moves on the uiwebview there it should draw a line according to the touch moves.
Is this possible.
Can any one please help me in this.
Thanks,
Mrudula.
yes it is possible just you have to write uiWebView.scrollView instead of uiWebView for getting coordinates of uiwebview.
I started working on something sort of like this. It doesn't currently let you "draw", but it does let you detect and record relative touch coordinates so that you can scale them correctly when zooming in. The DSAnnotationView object lets you provide a custom UIView to be toggled at the annotation point. Check it out here: https://github.com/justindarc/WebViewAnnotations
