[MonoTouch] Dock UIButtons @ DialogViewController

2013-01-29 Thread Iki
Hi guys, i need some help.

I currently using MonoTouch.Dialog, to be more specific DialogViewController. 
Inside DialogViewController I have only one section with elements. I would like 
to have three buttons 
docked to the same position (bottom of the screen) , so that the table can 
scroll behind them (something like UISegmentedView on the Maps app).

The problem is if I add them as subview, they will be on the scroll view, and 
after each new row is added, they would get pushed away of the screen. For now 
the only solution that I came up with is to first create ViewController, and 
then inside ViewDidLoad create DialogViewController with Root and Elements, and 
then add this as a subview to ViewController.


Do You have any better idea how to resolve this?


Thanks for your help, as always!

I'd suggest you work out the location (based on the screen height),
and then add a toolbar (with buttons or a segmented control) or even
just a normal UIView into whatever the parent view of the
DialogViewController is. IE, whatever you added the DVC into, add this
one in there, too.

If you add it after - or call BringSubviewToFront (or similar) then
it'll be on top of the dialog view controller. You could also make the
DVC a little smaller (not sure you can do this by default tho) so the
bottom element isn't obscured

You could also do it like this:

Window
  -UIView (takes up the whole screen)
-UIView (height is total height - size of toolbar, just to
constrain the size of the DVC)
  -DialogViewController
-ToolBar
 -Buttons or SegmentView

Thanks Nic!!

For now i will use UIToolbar and add DialogViewController to UIView which will 
be in between navigation bar and UIToolbar.
