Changing View on Xamarin Studio - xamarin-studio

Currently my view is stuck with my "Watch" outside of my other views:
Ideally I would like to have my "Watch" tabbed in with my other views such as "Locals, Breakpoints, Threads, Application Output."
Normally this would be as simple as dragging the "Watch" into the other tabbed views. However, I have been unable to do that and it just snaps back to a solo tab.
How do I combine all these tabs? This is driving me crazy.

Figured it out! This wasn't as intuitive as it could be:
To conjoin separate tabs, you need to drag the tab to the CENTER of the new tab as seen in the picture below.
Note. Do not try to drag the new tab to the TABBED part. Simply drag it to the center of where you want to conjoin. In the above picture I am dragging the Breakpoints tab into these tabbed views.

View hierarchy used by the Pages Mac OS X app

I need to build a Mac OS X app which requires view hierarchy similar to the Pages app. I understand that their is a toolbar at the top. On the left is a scroll view that contains a custom view but I have problem figuring out the hierarchy on the right, specifically the scroll section used on the right which allows options to hide or show up dynamically depending on the other options.
This is called an inspector view. It is not apart of the public SDK; this is all private code.
If you want to see how it's made start a view debugging session in xcode and attach it to the pages process. What you will find:
Inspector View
Inspector Pane Group view and Inspector Segmented Control
Inspector Pane View and Inspector Pane Disclosure Views.
You can make this fairly quickly from existing UI views and controls.

XAML Design view stuck in 'snap to grid' view

Silly question, but I somehow switched the XAML/Design view to 'snap to grid' view and can't seem to get it back to the standard design view, even by resetting VS to default settings. What's the hot-key to get my XAML/design view back to the normal view instead of the grids? Visual Studio 2012.
There are a series of three toggle buttons in VS2012, at the bottom of the XAML Designer (also called the 'Artboard'), and to the left of the scrollbar below it. These three toggle buttons will do the following (in order from left to right):
Show/hide gridlines
Enable/disable snapping to gridlines
Enable/disable snapping to snaplines (baselines, alignment margins, and the like)
These are also described a bit further here. They're settable via Tools -> Options as well.

Why does the iOS toolbar view get added on top of my loading view when I hide and show it again?

I have a normal navigation based iOS app
I've got "loading view" which I initiate from my app delegate and use across the app, simply by showing and hiding it.
This works fine, but as soon as I hide the bottom toolbar in one of the views in the app and display it again, the toolbar seems now be shown on top of the my generic "loading view"
Any help is much appreciated
How do you add your bottomBar? Obviously not on the view itself, right? Than it would probably be beneath the overlay.
Also you should use an extra window for the loading overlay. That would solve your issues.
I basically ended up deleting the loading view and recreating it each time.
It now appears at the top of the view hierarchy each time. This fixed the problem.

iOS layout: alternative to tabs?

I'm working on a iPhone app which shows an mobile webform in a UIWebView. I'm using a default iOS layout with a navigation and tab bar.
The mobile webform is displayed in a UIWebView in the white area. Since the webform has a lot of input fields, we really need as must space for it as possible. Because of this, we are planing to remove the tabs in the bottom. Over time, there will be more tabs/sections, so it is not a solution to just add a button for each section in the left side of the navigation bar. On a iPad a popover could easily be used to handle this.
Is there a standard iOS layout mechanism to handle this change of sections/views without using tabs?
You could do something long the lines of Path or the new Facebook app and have the "table of contents" behind the Navbar and the navbar slides away (along with the child view) to reveal it. When done right (ie smoothly) I think the effect is really cool.
This would also work great as you add more and more options, since the table could just scroll.
Here is a framework that might be you started: http://www.cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/iiviewdeckcontroller
I would consider replacing the navigation bar's title with a control that lets you switch between tabs. You can assign the bar's titleView property to a control or a button and it will generally do the right thing.
If you're limited to 2-3 tabs, you could simply use a UISegmentedControl.
If you want more, you could use a button which, when tapped, pops up a view that allows you to select the view you want. This could be a modal table view, or you could slide up a UIPickerView from the bottom of the screen, similar to the keyboard.
I use this technique in an app of my own, screenshots here. Tapping the button cycles between views (in this case, I'm changing the contents of the table cells); tap-and-hold slides up a picker.
Another possibility would be to arrange your different forms on pages in a scroll view with a page control at the bottom, à la Weather. The best option, though, if you’re going to have a particularly long list and want to keep your screen real estate, is probably the FB/Path-style sidebar table.
I ended up using a UIActionSheet but I think it in other situations would be more stylish to use a controller like the IIViewDeckController.
