Hi There,
I am trying to use the list component in my GUI. After a day of struggling, I
guess I have to seek help from the professionals.
First of all, I need to retrieve all the elements from the list, but found no
way to get them (unless I program it myself). Tried to use the 'subviews' array
but it does not seem giving me what I wanted. I am wondering whether there is
an easy way to get the elements of a list.
Second, I am trying to use the constraint between a "Delete" button and the
selectionmanager so that the delete button will be enabled if and only if there
is one selection on the list. But, it does not seem working.
Below is the simplified code.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
