showing button on the view - eclipse-plugin

I have one empty view and some actions on the view toolbar. When I click any of the actions, I need to show one button on the view. so we can it is some kind of dynamic rendering on the view.How do I do that?

I have made a small example on how to create the toolbar, the handler and button in the view... See so-viewaction.zip. Hope it helps.

Passing buttons between View Controllers in Xcode 5

I am wanting to know how to pass buttons between two view controllers. As an example when you click "move" on one view controller the button will appear on another view controller. I am wanting to know the code to do this task. Thanks.
Perhaps just make an identical button of that button. When you click the "move" button the next screen will have the "move" button. Except this time it will have the functionality of your choice!

Make an NSToolbar's fullScreenAccessoryView visible at launch

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)

iOS presenting modal and navigation controller based views

I'm building an application for the iphone that uses both modal views and navigation-controllers. In my case, the initial screen is a table view within a navigation controller, and if the user clicks on the "+" button, they get a new screen that appears in a modal view sliding up from the bottom of the screen that will allow them to add a new record. Within this modal view I want to have a button that will allow them to select from a list of options.
To provide a quick example, take a look at this screenshot from the Apple documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/DOCUMENTATION/UserExperience/Conceptual/TableView_iPhone/Art/ui_navbarpurposes.jpg. If you look at the "Repeat" option in the second view, that's what I want to emulate -- the user will click on the option and a new view (not a action sheet) will load allowing them to select from a list.
Ideally, I would want this new option screen to slide in from the right like a new view was added to the navigation controller stack. However, since add record screen is a modal view, I can't do that, can I? Or would my modal view need to load my add records view embedded within a new navigation controller?
Hopefully I'm explaining this clearly enough. Sorry for any confusion!
Your last thought is the way to go: you need to add a navigation controller to your modal view, and then when they tap the table view row, you just push your next view onto the navigation stack.

Edit Button on Navigation Controller

I have a navigation controller in my app and on its root view controller i have an Edit button as the rightBarButtonItem.
I have a second table view which is pushed when a cell is tapped on the root view controller.
The leftBarButtonItem becomes the Back button.
I would like an Edit button as well, where can i put it that would make the most sense? My rightBarButtonItem is a + button, so that rules that out.
I would like to be able to tap a cell and change the cells text.
Thanks
The easiest thing to do is add a toolbar at the bottom that contains an edit button.
You could also try adding a bar button item with a custom view that contains two UIButtons and set it as the right bar button item of your view controller's navigation item. I haven't actually tried this, so I don't really know if or how well it would work.

How would you make a Status Item show or Hide a window when clicked?

How would make a Status Item when the actually button is clicked in the Menu Bar not in a drop down menu show or hide a window?
Sorry if this is a bit vague.
NSStatusItem supports the target/action mechanism like many other controls. I haven't used this myself -- I've only ever used an NSStatusItem with a menu attached -- so I don't know when the message is sent (i.e. when the mouse button is clicked or when it's released). If it doesn't do what you want by default, you would need a custom view like Daniel suggests.
To achieve this with NSStatusItem you need to create a custom view and replace the default NSStatusItem view by calling its "setView:" method.
You'll implement code in your custom view to react to mouse clicks by e.g. putting up a window. (You can use a button, or other standard views if it works best for you).
I'll warn you this is a bit tricky to get right. Lots of little nuances e.g. with getting the look of your custom view to look right in the menu bar. But this is the general approach you need to take if you want to override the default menu-prompting status item view.
