I would like to add a button next to the disclosure button like in Mail.app.
And I don't want to do it like this in Photos.app.
I had a look at the answers in this question but they are about customising existing disclosure buttons which I do not wish to modify. I just want to add a button next to it and not for every group item. I believe it has to be done programmatically.
I tried adding a button on storyboard and place it on the right of the NSTableCellView and the disclosure button overlap it. So I think it should not be done on storyboard.

I'd like a toolbar button with an attached dropdown menu, like the "Flag" button in the toolbar in Mail.app:
I'd hoped that making a normal NSMenuItem and adding a menu as the menuFormRepresentation would do the trick, but that menu only appears when the button goes into overflow mode.
I had also hoped that adding an NSPopupButton as a custom view would work, but that makes the whole view a menu, whereas I want the left part of the component to behave like a normal button, and the right dropdown part bring up the menu.
Is there some trick to making the NSToolbarItem show a component like this, or is this two custom views stuck together?
There's nothing magical about NSToolbar here. That's just one of the ways you can set up NSSegmentedControl, regardless of whether it appears as a toolbar item's custom view or on its own.
You can't set this up in Interface Builder (storyboard), but NSSegmentedControl has APIs for assigning menus to segments:
segmentControl.setMenu(myMenu, forSegment: 1)
segmentControl.setShowsMenuIndicator(true, forSegment: 1) // for the little arrow
You probably want to set the tracking mode to momentary, since your segment control is acting as a set of visually-connected buttons, not a choose-one-of-N selector.
When the user clicks either segment, your action method will need to use the selectedSegment to decide whether to perform the action associated with the "button" side or ignore the click (letting the menu show for the other side).
I need the ability for a user to press and set an ListView item's checkbox independently of clicking on the item. If they press on the checkbox I will add/remove the checkmark and take some action. If they press on the item text I can take another action.
I can do this with a ListBox no problem with built in functionality. I can't figure out how to do it with a ListView. How is it done?
I can put the following code in the ListView1ItemClickEx to know when the user is clicking on the image. Maybe I can just change the image to a checkmark?
if (ItemObject->Name == "I") {
ShowMessage("Item Image clicked");
}
But I don't know how to change that particular items image (e.g. I could just toggle between a checkmark image and an unchecked image) at runtime.
The picture below is for clarity. Clicking anywhere in the red box will change the items checkbox. For the ListBox clicking anywhere in the blue box will fire the OnClick event and not change the checkbox. I want that same behavior in the ListView.
Ok, Remy answered this related question and it helped me solve this issue. Now I can make the ListView have a checkbox that functions like that of the ListBox. I do it by toggling the item image whenever the user presses (or clicks on) the image area of an item.
When the user clicks an items image I trap it (per Remy's code in the ListView1ItemClickEx event) and toggle it from 0->1 or 1->0 in a vector at reference ItemIndex (e.g. myVector[ItemIndex] = 0) and then I completely rebuild the ListView (clear it and build from scratch).
I thought I'd have to remember where in the list I had scrolled down to and after refreshing the ListView I'd have to scroll to that point in code - but, that isn't the case. I don't know why but after the refresh I'm still at the point in the list where I clicked an item image. It makes it work and feel exactly like a check box.
It works great in iOS, Android, and Windows.
p.s. I forgot to mention that you need to treat any Header's like they are items in your vector that keeps up with each items' image (0 or 1). Otherwise adding headers gets you out of sync and clicking an item's image will toggle some other item's image.
I currently have 3 tabs connected to a common UITabBarController. When one of the tabs is selected the user is taken to a UITableView with 3 cells which can be selected. When a cell is selected the user is taken to a new page with a UINavigationBar at the top. My understanding is that the UINavigationBar is supposed to include some sort of back button and I couldn't figure out how to enable it.
In place of the default back button, I dragged a UIButton to the corner and connected it to the 'Show Detail' property of the previous view but when I press the UIButton I am taken to the right UITableView but the tabs are missing for navigation. What am I doing wrong? My segues look like this:
The UINavigationController has the back functionality. How to go back one view in UINavigationController?.
Here is some old tutorial on how to combine that with a tabbarcontroller. should still be the same principles.
I have an oversized picture that I want to add to a powerpoint slide. I want the picture to fit within a box and have a vertical scroll bar.
This is probably not the answer you are looking for but you can make a faux scrolling bar with shapes and action buttons. The explanation for this is described in the Office page: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/create-a-scrolling-effect-in-powerpoint-2007-HA010245145.aspx
This will allow you to get the feeling of a scrollbar. You can also add separate sections of the picture which becomes visible/invisible when you click the action button instead of showing the next page. You can alter the action by right-clicking the action button and changing the action or you could use a regular button with the shape of an action button with an added hyperlink.
I have a UITableView with cells that contain a disclosure button. Is there a way built in to slide another UITableView from right to left when clicked?
Or do I have create my own animation block?
Meeras answer was correct. I simply add the view.
