How to make a combobox in iphone - iphone

I am trying to make a combobox in ios following this link http://www.codeproject.com/KB/iPhone/iphonecombobox.aspx.
But the click event (that shows the picker) seems to work sometimes and sometimes not. It looks like sometimes it just works in some regions of the control and not others.
Any idea of what is wrong?

It's kind of hacky, but you can add a hidden UIControl around the region of the ComboBox and then wire it up to the same IBAction or void that the existing ComboBox uses. For example, -(IBAction) showPicker could be the action of a new UIControl that you add right around the region.

For some reason, the answer was using the textfield and image directly to the page instead of creating a view for the control and using that view N times.

I created a combobox api for iOS, hope this could be of any help: http://www.chupamobile.com/products/details/365/ZComboBox/

Keep window in focus always in swift Cocoa [duplicate]

I have noticed in the Interface Builder if I want to click on or drag from the Library panel, I only have to click on it once, even if the Library panel does not have the current focus.
I am trying to build a panel that behaves similarly.
Is there any simple way to let the NSTableView accept the click, even if the window does not have the focus?
Thanks.
Ok, I found the answer. Inside from awakeFromNib I call this:
[self setBecomesKeyOnlyIfNeeded:YES];
It seems to do the trick. It's a little bit different from Interface Builder where the Panel actually gets the focus simultaneously with a single click, but doing it this way is just what I was looking for.
Your view should override -acceptsFirstMouse: to return YES (or evaluate the event passed to you to determine what to return). You'll have to subclass NSTableView to do that of course.

draw button as combobox with ios

I'm attempting to override the onDraw method of a button because I want to create a different styled button. I want to create a button like combobox with iOS SDK. I've already found source code, but it will not work.
Try this for combo box in ios.
IosCombo
Depending on how many entries you're trying to choose from, you might want to look at UISegmentedControl. It's like a radial button, where you can select one "active" option (leaving one or more "inactive" options). It gets cluttered and it becomes hard for the user to select the option they want if you have a lot of different options though.

How would I go about detecting links in TTTAttributedLabel?

I have a table view and in some of the cells there are links, I want to be allow the user to click on these links and view them in a webView (which I have already made). I don't want to use the row selection event because there may be more than one link in the cell. I came across TTTAttributedLabel and think it will be ideal. I don't need to add any style to the text in the cell, I only need to detect the links and capture the click event to open up my webview.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like you can assign a TTTAttributedLabelDelegate to a TTTAttributedLabel that will get call backs for when a user selects different link types, but no opportunity for you to capture them and open your own web view (which I think is what you're trying to accomplish).
Instead, you might wanna check out OHAttributedLabel. It's similar in functionality, but when a user clicks on one of the links in the label, it calls -(BOOL)attributedLabel:(OHAttributedLabel*)attributedLabel shouldFollowLink:(NSTextCheckingResult*)linkInfo on it's OHAttributedLabelDelegate, which gives you the opportunity to handle the link tap yourself if you return NO.

How do I get a pop-up to display on my iphone application?

I would like to know how to display a pop-up with some text, in an iphone application that I am developing. The part of the app I am talking about consists of some text pulled in from a plist file, all this happens in a view controller object which also consists of a button. When the user presses the button, I would like to show a pop-up window (not a small alert like the one obtained using UIAlertView but one similar to the pop-up ads that appear when you launch certain apps on the iphone, with the background dim and a window with a close button etc etc..), ya so anyway I would like to know how to achieve this, mainly if there is any pre-defined class that can make this happen. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You could use MBProgressHUD for this. You can add custom views in it and it also has the dimBackground property to dim the containing view and many other useful things.

drop down lists in xcode

Ive got a button in a UICell. I want a list(a table view like view to be precise) to dropdown when the user touches the button and dissappear when he touches it again.Googling didnt get me any solutions:-(
Any suggestions on sites to refer would also be appreciated..
There is nothing quite like what you want in UIKit. I would recommend building the sample "UICatalog" application and playing around with it to see if anything does what you need. If it does not, you will need to create your own control.
