I'm assuming the NDA has been lifted now, so here goes: I'm trying to implement a combination search and index list, in the same way that the 2.0 Contacts application does things, but I'm having trouble getting anything to work as expected.
The first problem encountered is that you need to shorten the search field, to accommodate the index along the right-hand side, otherwise it overwrites the search field. Nothing I do has changed the search field from spanning the full width though. I'm grabbing the first item from the UISearchBar subviews, and resizing it in both my controller init method, and in my viewDidAppear and viewWillAppear methods, but nothing changes, it always spans the full width when the view is displayed, even though I've updated the rect (and printing the rect confirms that I've changed the bounds). I've also tried setting the autoresizingMask to UIViewAutoresizingNone thinking that this might be the problem, but this also showed no change. Another thing I've noticed is that adding the search field doesn't automatically add the search icon to the top of the index. I assumed that it would, but I'm guessing this is also custom code? It'd be really nice if this were "free". That said, how are we even supposed to add this icon? You can return the letters for the index, as they are strings, but I don't see a way to return an image (unicode symbol maybe?). I assume I'm not the only one who is trying to emulate this new 2.0 behavior so hopefully this query will help others as well. (Bonus points for ideas on how to "shift" the index over when the user starts to type a search string...) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
