I was wondering how I could add a toolbar in the titlebar using INAppStoreWindow. I succesfully added InAppStoreWindow in my application but I was thinking how to add a toolbar like the 'AppStore.app' in the center of my titlebar using INAppStoreWindow.
Nowhere on the internet nor stackoverflow has a similer topic about this toolbar inside this INAppStoreWindow method. I hope somebody could tell me if this is possible and how as I can't find any examples.
If you create an NSView with the contents of what you want to be on your window's titlebar, and have IBOutlets to both your window and that view, it can be done in 2 lines of code.
(In this case, the view is titleView and the window is theWindow)
//Make the titlebar view the same size
[self.titleView setFrameSize:self.theWindow.titleBarView.frame.size];
//Add the view to the window's "titleBarView"
[self.theWindow.titleBarView addSubview:self.titleView];

I need to hide the thumbnail bar on double tapping the document preview. But if I add the QLPreviewcontroller as a subview, the double tapping is not working and the thumbnail bar is not hidden. I need to do this because the bar is hiding a right side part of the document. Please suggest me some way how to handle this.
If I present it as a viewcontroller I don't face any issue. But am not able to add a toolbar or edit the navbar of QLPreviewcontroller .
I need to also add a customized Toolbar to this viewcontroller.
Just found it, same issue, in fact generally as soon as you add a view from an another view controller inside a master view controller, you need to declare the child view controller as child :
[self addChildViewController:quicklookVC];
[quicklookVC didMoveToParentViewController:self];
then now tap to hide / show option bar and thumbnail preview is working
I am trying to make an application with a toolbar controller which view is shown, and for each view shown I want to include a second 'row' for the toolbar, and I found out that to do this you had to do [toolbar setFullScreenAccessoryView:view]. However, the view does not appear until the user toggles fullscreen mode and the accessory view remains after toggling the window back to windowed mode. I would like it to look like the following examples from Mail.app, Preview.app, Dictionary.app:
just place a custom view underneath the NSToolbarView .. so at the top of the window.
dont misuse the fullscreenAccessory view. it if meant for something else.

(it could be any other view too btw :D)
I am trying to put a toolbar directly beneath a navigation bar but I need the toolbar to not hide the content from the view directly beneath it. My quick solution was to set the navigation controller's native toolbar to visible, which works and properly resizes the view beneath it so that it doesn't let anything hide behind it, BUT the default toolbar shows at the bottom of the screen.
I need it to be at the top, just under the nav bar. I figure the easy solution would be to change the frame of the default toolbar (which I don't know how to do) OR to position a new instance of the toolbar onto the view (which works but it hides the content beneath it) but have it resize the views below.
Please see the following image that I found to see what I'm trying to do. (note how the tableview's first row starts UNDER the tab bar)
Thanks!!!
You are confusing two things. The NavigationController toolbar property IS the bottom bar, any toolbar that you add to a view has nothing to do with the nav controller but is a property of that view.
If you have your own toolbar at the top of a view you need to move the rest of the view content down or set that toolbar to translucent if thats what your looking for.
Again the nav controller toolbar is always the bottom bar, the toolbar you drop in IB is just a toolbar for that view that you can put anywhere.
I don't believe you can change the frame of the default toolbar. You will need to create your own instance of a toolbar, position it at the bottom of the navigation bar and resize your tableView to fit below.
We can't see how you have your views set up but if you are starting with a view that is subclassed as UITableViewController you will have trouble doing that. What you want is to start with a UIViewController as your master controller, add a tableview and toolbar as subviews. Then position and size them as appropriate.
If you are hiding and showing the toolbar you will create a method to move it up under the navigation controller and again resize the tableview.
I've been looking around and I can't find much information on how I would go about creating a window similar to the Mac App Store or iTunes. It has a thicker title bar with buttons ect. as you can see in the image below.
Any help would be much appreciated.
In Interface Builder there's an item called "Toolbar". Drag that onto your Window, then you can add "Image Toolbar Items", "Flexible Space Toolbar Item", etc.
There are some similar questions to this one: Title Bar Buttons and Custom Title Bars.
I think the main workaround is to create your own view to be placed in top of the titlebar as a child of your window's content superview.
I'm build a Mac application in the style of the Lion Mail.app. As part of this I'm attempting to create a simular toolbar to the one in the Mail.app but I can't seem to get the image in my toolbar button centered vertically.
Looking at the Mail.app toolbar I see a nice series of buttons with centered icons:
but when I go interface builder I can't seem to recreate the same button. What I get is:
What I've tried doing is, in Interface Builder:
Create a new window
Add a NSToolbar to that window
Add an NSButton to the toolbar with Style - 'Push', Image - 'Envelope', Position - 'NSImageOnly', Scaling - 'Proportionally Down'
As you can see the icon is clearly not centered vertically on the button like those in the Mail.app toolbar.
Anybody have any ideas???
At the moment I'm using XCode 4.2 and laying out this button with Interface Builder. I'm trying to build the toolbar button by ONLY adding the image to the button and not painting the button for each item, ie drawing the border and icon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been driving me a little nuts.
Thanks in advance - AYAL
Turns out the answer to this problem was much simpler then I had expected. After a lot of teeth gnashing, hair pulling, and twiddling pixels I came across the solution.
Instead of using a 'Push' button I simply had to switch to a 'Round Textured' button. Once I did that any image I added to the button was nicely centered. Next I just had to manually scale my image to look right.
The recipe then for a Mail.app Toolbar is as follows:
Add a button to your Toolbar
Set the button style to 'Rounded Textured'
Set the image of the button
Set the position to 'NSImageOnly'
Set the button size to 40 x 25 as well as the min and max sizes of the ToolbarItem
The result is a toolbar that can look very simular to the Mail.app toolbar.
Thanks All - AYAL
One way to do it is to have your image actually be the button i.e. take up all of the button's canvas. You will have to use the button's setBordered: method so the button's border is not drawn.
you could make the button image in something like gimp or photoshop then use that as the background or image for the button.
i feel like your going to say "this is what im doing". and maybe you made the little mail icon but i mean for you to make the whole button, outline and everything, then use that for the button image. make sense?
like here, just use this as the background
