iOS UINavigationBar Kit V1.4.2

[mcgrath3]

Looking for a UINavigationBar that will resize for each Orientation of each Device including Android?
Well iOS UINavigationBar Kit V1.4.2 is Available today. One UINavBar to rule them all.

The Stack includes a LAB to experiment with the features of this Control. Just Launch this stack in your simulator and change from iPod to iPhone to iPad to Android and also rotate the orientation and watch how smooth and simple this grouped control is. Many undocumented features as well.

You can download this fantastic stack from RevOnline:

This is just one part of the iOS Kit. This stack has a self contained UINavBar group that behaves the way a iOS UINavigationBar is supposed to behave. The Font, Sizes and Colors are from iOS. Just copy the group to a new stack and set some custom properties of that group and your on your way.

One group for ALL orientations and ALL mobile devices. Included with this stack is a very useful Stack Script that will automatically change the UINavBar to which ever Device it is launched on and for which ever Orientation the Device rotates to.

Features:
Resizable Buttons based on the Button Text.
Resizable Navigation Bar based on Device and Orientation that will reposition buttons as required.
Customizable Text and Title Font, Size, Color, Shadow, Margin, Offset,
Two rows of Individually customizable Buttons for Tall Style Bars.

Bar Styles:

Button Colors:

You're welcome Bernd,

I hope you get a lot of use out of it. If you find any problems or issues please pass them on to me so I can fix them.

One note:

The White Buttons are not from the iOS. I am still in the process of getting the exact button elements for those as well as the split view bar. That said I am using the White Buttons with the Graphic effect Overlay Color to create non-standard iOS buttons which are acceptable in the HIG for iOS.

Enjoy

Tom

Is this toolkit still being supported and developed?

[mcgrath3]

Since MobGUI was published I stopped updating this. Although it needs updated due to reSize no longer being sent I still think it is the best way to handle rotation and different device sizes. At least until we can 'simply' capture all properties of all controls on a card to physically move them. I design all of my projects in 1024 x 1024 and resize the elements accordingly.

Hrm... is there any way to demo MobGUI or read docs? I'm evaluating LiveCode as an IOS development tool (getting the other platforms "for free), but first-class IOS apps are the prime requirement, and LiveCode out of the box doesn't seem to deliver that.

Yes.
