Hi Nic,
thanks for the reply,
I have tried the following code in the ViewDidAppear and ViewDidLoad and both
give me a null issue,
searchBar = new UISearchBar (f){
Delegate = new SearchDelegate (),
ShowsCancelButton = true,
} ;
string[] buttons = new string[] { "POI", "Road", "Postcode"} ;
searchBar = new UISearchDisplayController();
searchBar.ScopeButtonTitles = buttons;
searchBar.ShowsScopeBar = true;
searchBar.SizeToFit();
this.SearchDisplayController.SearchBar = searchBar; <-- this errors saying
readonly
I have also tried the following in the events above
string[] buttons = new string[] { "POI", "Road", "Postcode"} ;
UISearchDisplayController POIsearch = new UISearchDisplayController();
POIsearch.SearchBar.ShowsScopeBar = true; <<--- fails here
POIsearch.SearchBar.ScopeButtonTitles = buttons;
I just need to see a working example to be able to see where I am going wrong,
TBH I have tried so many things now that I am about to drop that part of the
project until I can find an answer I spent the whole of yesterday googling for
an answer and nothing worked.
Thanks
Alex
