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 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'm trying to make my first Cocoa app (previously I was making iOS apps) and what I wish to do for my custom view is make it's title clickable with indicator (accessory) triangle facing down.
Clicking the title would open a popup/menu with my items.
How is that doneable in Cocoa?
Rdelmar's answer is probably the easiest way to go, but may not do exactly what you might want to do (which is replace the actual title with a pop up item, instead of having a popup button under the title in the toolbar area). With respect to functionality your application will probably work just as well using the toolbar.
If, however, you truly want to replace the actual title, the means of going about this would be to set the NSWindow title text to #"" to hide it, and redraw it by sticking in your own view.
[[[theWindow contentView] superview] addSubview:theSubview];
This basically tells the superview of the main content view to add another subview (direct "translation" from the code), and you'll have to tinker with the frame of this new subview to have it be positioned where the title should be positioned (as now it's free to be placed anywhere in the window frame, including on top of the title bar, as opposed to simply inside the content view).
theSubview can be your popup button, or whatever you want, and you'll also probably have to custom draw the popup button to match the original drawing of the window title.
You can do this by adding a toolbar to your window in IB. Once, you add the toolbar, you can double click on it to open the customizer view of it. Drag a popup button into the Allowable Toolbar Items area and after it is inserted there you can drag it into the bottom area which shows the layout of the toolbar -- you can also drag out any of the default items there that you don't want.
I would like to have buttons inside a scroll view (or another solution to creating a scrollable button bar).
I have buttons placed side by side in a row along the top of a view. As a user resizes the window to be less wide, fewer buttons can be seen.
When all the buttons cannot be viewed, I would like the user to still be able to access all the buttons by scrolling horizontally through them.
To visualise this, imagine in Safari if you open too many tabs to fit in the window - I would like the user to be able to scroll to the right and reveal the tabs that weren't on the screen.
You need to deselect the springs (for the custom view of the scroller) in the autosizing setter so that the view doesn't shrink along with the scroll view when you resize.
I have to implement a custom toolbar for my application, where a button will be placed on the side of exit, maximize and minimize buttons.
I tried to work with the toolbar element on XCode, but it always put elements below these buttons and not on the side.
App Store application implement this feature, like you can see in this image.
One solution is to start with this open source code (https://github.com/indragiek/INAppStoreWindow) to give you the correct title bar style, and then position buttons in the titlebar.
I have page containing 4 textboxes and a button. The content is within ScrollViewer. When user goes to the last textbox, the button below it is 50% visible. So, to click it, user has to click on non-focusable area to hide the keyboard and then click on button.
Is there any way to move the ScrollViewer up? Or move the content up so that the button below focused textbox can be seen 100%?
The solution is to remove the buttons on the page and replace them with buttons in the ApplicationBar as this is always viewable below the SIP.
If this is not a solution you can implement (from a design view-point there is no reason to not do this but sometimes these decisions come from elsewhere) then you could look to use the ScrollToVerticalOffset method to try and bring the desired item into view.
I would suggest you read Alex Sorokoletov's article on how to transform the view. It might be of help for your problem.
