[REQ] UITableView Toolbar with Edit/Done

[James]

I am impressed with these native controls. Their performance is great (especially with UITableView components).

However, I miss an iOS feature for this component: the toolbar with Edit/Done buttons and storyboard. It is really easy to use in x-code, as described here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/TableView_iPhone/ManageInsertDeleteRow/ManageInsertDeleteRow.html

I usually use this feature to add "edition mode" to the user where he can delete or order/arrange the items.

I tried to do the same using a UINavigationController but it is not possible to add Edit/Done buttons to it in runtime.

I also miss the SearchBar in that component, but this is not as important as the previous requirement.

Hi, james

The Edition option work on TDPFTableView (see TableView 1 demo)
we have CellEdit and EditAll in Tableview options->Editing yopu can set this properties for enable row delete or all deleting.
Insertin and searchbar and reordering not implementated yet, but i will work on this features.

thanks you feedback

Hello Babak:

Thanks for the answer. I know that the edit mode works perfectly in version 2.0.1. However, without the Edit/Done buttons, how can you start/end the edition in an elegant way? Since I can not change the "Editing" button style in the toolbar or navigation components with the "Done" style in runtime, I can not get the desired behavior.

I just thought this was a missing feature since I have been seing this "tool" in almost any AppStore Application using the tableview editing.

Nice to hear that you will work with the search bar.

Ok,

You right, I will fix changing toolbar button systemstyle in runtime next release.

thanks your feedback

Hi James:

I managed to get an approach to the Edit/Done button modifing the UINavigationBar component.

I added a ButtonColor property (I couldn´t change the Item Style to bssiItemStyleDone).

It is not the "perfect solution" because I can´t change the position of that button on the left side of the bar of the rootview. However it works.

I guess Babak will purpose a far more good way to get that.

In order to test it, replace the DPF.UINavigationController.pas original file with the attached one and then, uninstall/reinstall the components.

After that, you can try the attached demo to see it in action.

By the way Babak, do you know how can I go to the previous page in an UINavigationController programatically? What I mean is "simulate" the "Go Back" Button.

Greetings

Hi Babak. Great work with the toolbar.

Would you mind to add the ButtonColor property to the UINavigationController?

I attached the code based in latest version. (Commented with my name in every single change I did).

By the way, you didn´t answer my previous question:
"Do you know how can I go to the previous page in an UINavigationController programatically? What I mean is "simulate" the "Go Back" Button."

Some feedback about the UINavigationController:

• The StyleBar property doesn´t work, it always shows the Black Style.
• Is it possible to change the BarButtonStyle in runtime like you did with toolbar?
• Is it possible to add a BarButton on the left side of Navigation bar?

Greetings!
