Could somebody explain how to make a UITextField within a UITableView cell expand vertically. Right now when I add text to the textfield it expands infinitely but in the horizontal direction. Is there a way to have the textfield use a fixed width and expand vertically? If there is could somebody provide sample code for this kind of functionality?
The answer would be to use a UITextView, not a UITextField.
Check this out - I created a tool that makes a uiview which holds a clickable/expandable uitextview. You can use this, set the size of the containing cell accordingly, and overwrite the functions that change height programmatically.
It's not exactly what you wanted, but it might help!

I would like to create a NSTableView so that when it grows it will not scroll but instead push down the content below. The NSTableView and the content below will be wrapped in a NSScrollView that will autoresize with the windows height.
Is this even possible? I've spent a lot of time searching for any answer or even a clue on how to approach a design like this, but no luck. Should I even use a NSTableView for this?
See this image if you don't understand what I mean:
I think that you just need to calculate the total height of your all table cells and that value set as a table height. After that set your scroll view content size as a CGSizeMake(scrolviewwidth, table_height)
Select tableView and in attributes inspector in section Scroll View uncheck Scrolling Enabled. It is possible, that you will have to set table height manually viz previous answer.
Is there away to change the postion where text in UITextView displayed. for example, i need the text to appear near the bottom of the UITextView.
I Don't know surly that i am right or not ??? but you need to use the contentOffset property of the UITextView class to accomplish this
For get more information refer this documenttation.
why not using an other view and placing the UITextView on top of that? so you can decide where to place it.
Maybe change the bounds, for the text to display at the bottom :)
I thought this would be simple but it's proving not to be.
I have some text that I need to display in my app. What is the best way to present it? Because I want the text but also want a header - the header will be larger. I know UITextView only allows 1 type of font/size.
Example of what I want
Example Header - Bold size 22
Text - size 16
How do I do this?
If your text is not editable, I think you can think about UILabel instead of UITextView, and you can use more complicated view hierarchy, not just an UITextView or UILabel.
If you insist using UITextView, I think you can refer to NSAttributedString.
UITableViewCellStyleValue1 is the cell style that has left-hand black text and right-hand blue detail text.
I can set adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth to ensure that the textLabel respects the width of the cell, but it may still over-display the detailTextLabel. How can I tell the textLabel to adjust it's size for to respect the detailView? Is sub-classing UITableViewCell the only approach?
Yes, the only way that I would tackle this problem is via a subclass. You could do it with what you are given, but you are in the end, you are putting the same amount of work into it, so I would go with the more control you get with a subclass, so if you wanted to change anything in the future you have the power to do so.
I am building an app where I need to add buttons to a UITextView dynamically on the basis of text entered by the user in the same UITextView.
The look I want to give is something like To field in message app of iPhone
I am unsable to figure out the way to do the needful.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
I found out the solution to my problem and no one has yet answered here so will reply to my own question.
I tried to keep a UITextView on a UIScrollView and then kept changing the width of the UItectView and added button to the left of it depending on the text added in the the textView. This will help in giving an appearance similar to that of a textfield with dynamic addition of UIButton.
Hope this wolrs for all those having the similar problem.
