Any chance you can make a UISwitch?

 

[NJDude]

Nice.

Would it be possible you translated the following to keep it kosher?

CorFonte As Int

TamFonte As Int

Texto As String

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Ok NJDude, I will translate today and I post them

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

The "UISwitch" is already exist, look in this EREL class:

NJDude, this translate is not necessary, this type in only for internal use. I take off from documentation

It doesn't look as good as the iOS one however, and since you were basing your SegmentedControl on the iOS version I thought I would put it out there.

I like the look of the iOS 7 one even better as good design usually requires no text labels to explain On/Off.

 

[CidTek]

iOS 7 version of the UISwitch.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

OK CidTek,

I do this library with this design based. In some days I put in the forum...

I think it will help you and others users.

Thank you! And for those of us that port our apps to Blackberrys it will even have a native look on those platforms.

regards Paolo Lops

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Hey Paolo,

Enjoy!

 

[billyrudi]

Hi Alberto you are great!.
Are you sure that the library1.3.zip is correct?
i don't see your flag...

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Yes, it is. Look:

Version: 1.3

* Add a flag to invert colors when the button is push or not

V1.3 (First public release)
New flag added..... InvertedColors = True/False

Just download this version.

 

[billyrudi]

ok perfect. tank you.

 

[Mashiane]

Nice work, would be nice though of instead of text one can add images to each item. Any considerations?

 

[Dave O]

Is there a way to set the selection color? (It currently seems fixed as a dark gray.)

Basically, I'd like to create a control like the red/white one in the lower left of the graphic in the first post (unselected = white, selected = color).
