Hi All, I have a little iPhone app which has the following UI: 1. 2 buttons, use to manipulate my model object. 2. 2 switches, let's call them infoSwitch and optionSwitch respectively 3. A custom view, its subview includes 4 UILabel, those labels are used to display infomation of my model object. Let's call it infoView. 4. Another custom view, includes a slider and textfield which are used to setup some states of my model objects, and the optionSwitch mentioned above. Let's call the view as optionView. 5. Yet another custom view, it will show the drawing graph of my model object according to its state. Let's call it graphView.
The layout I want to show to the user is 2 buttons on top, next line is infoSwitch, and the next line is optionSwitch. And the next line of course is my drawing graph of my model object. That's all the user can see at the beginning. Both switches are set to off when they are loaded. And both infoView and optionView are transparent. (Alpha value is 0.0). User will use those 2 buttons to change the basic state of my model object. And the user can also switch the infoSwith to be on, once this event occurs, the optionSwitch, optionView and the graphView will slip certain pixel down, and the infoView will be showed right below to the infoSwith and above to the optionSwitch. Same thing should happen to the optionView. Once the user switch the optionSwitch to be on, the graphView will slip certain pixel down, and the optionView should be showed to the user where is below to the optionSwitch and is above to the graphView. That's what I want to implement. I have a problem regarding to this. In order to make the user see what I expect, the optionView will be layout on top of the infoView at the beginning. They are overlap. Hence the optionView will become the subview of the infoView. However, I will set the infoView alpha to 0.0 in the awakeFromNib method, then its subview includes optionView will be transparent as well even I set optionView alpha to 1.0, how to fix this? And since optionView is the subview of infoView, so when I move the optionView down, it can not be moved out of optionView anyway. Same thing happen to optionSwitch because optionSwitch is overlap with infoView, so if I make infoView transparent, so is optionSwitch. If I put all of these question into one statement, I guess it will be how to make each custom view independent even they are overlap in the interface builder, that is I don't want them to be superview and subview relationship. I want to handle them separately. Do I approach it the right way? Also, if I relocate the optionView down to certain pixcel, I guess it will no be displayed on the screen because it is located outside of the infoView(its superview). Can anyone suggest me a solution for this? Thank you. best regards, ico -- ========================== Life isn't about finding yourself.
