Icon list view?

[dans]

Hi,

in my app I want to start off with a list of icons that represent various tasks / actions you can do in my application (similar in look as the iPhone's application screen). However I can't find how to do this with the iPhone SDK / Interface Builder, as none of the existing objects seem to resemble this look. Is this possible to do without having to create a custom control?

TIA

Dan

A UITableView is capable of doing this.

Yes, that's one thing I tried, though naturally I would have expected it to be part of some list view. But I can't seem to find how to actually do it. In the Interface Builder, there's nothing to set to get this into icon mode, and setStyle only has ...Plain and ...Grouped for UITableView, neither of which show icons. Or do I have to set the columns myself and just pass in images as the content of a cell?

In your data source method, when you pass back a UITextViewCell, just set the cell's image property to the image you want to display. If you need more control over the placement, then you can subclass UITextViewCell. The documentation covers it pretty well here:

Alright, thanks, guess I'll just have to plunge in and give it a try :-)
