Thanks.
Yeah, no checkbox for you in iOS (-:
Here, this is what I did to create a checkbox:
UIButton *checkbox;
BOOL checkBoxSelected;
checkbox = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x,y,20,20)];
// 20x20 is the size of the checkbox that you want
// create 2 images sizes 20x20 , one empty square and
// another of the same square with the checkmark in it
// Create 2 UIImages with these new images, then:
[checkbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"notselectedcheckbox.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[checkbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectedcheckbox.png"]
forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[checkbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectedcheckbox.png"]
forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
checkbox.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted=YES;
[checkbox addTarget:(nullable id) action:(nonnull SEL) forControlEvents:(UIControlEvents)];
[self.view addSubview:checkbox];
Now in the target method do the following:
-(void)checkboxSelected:(id)sender
{
checkBoxSelected = !checkBoxSelected; /* Toggle */
[checkbox setSelected:checkBoxSelected];
}
That's it!
On iOS there is the switch UI component instead of a checkbox, look into the UISwitch
class.
The property on
(boolean) can be used to determine the state of the slider and about the saving of its state: That depends on how you save your other stuff already, its just saving a boolean value.
