INFO BUTTON?

[GeoffMilburn]

I have a simple one page application that is finished.
I want to add a credits page using the small "i" button to switch to that page.
I have seen many apps with this feature but cant seem to find out how to make it work anywhere on the web.
Please help!

Check out the Apple Sample Code for the NavBar app. They have an info button in the top right of the app that when pressed, shows a view containing info on the app.

That could be what you are looking for?

Are you basically wanting the button to pull up another view? If so, I wrote this the other day and posted it in this thread. A link to the final sample app is found here.

In my app, I had the button on the top right take the user to a UIWebView, which you probably don't want to do.

Here's some code for creating the button:

    UIButton *infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight];
    infoButton.frame = CGRectMake(290.0, 10.0, 15.0, 15.0); // puts it top-right
    [infoButton addTarget:self action:@selector(toggleCreditsOpen:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:theButton];

And then, your methods to open/close (create a "Credits" nib file and hook up a Done button somewhere on it):

- (IBAction) toggleCreditsOpen:(id)inSender
{	
    UIViewController *theController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"Credits" bundle:nil];
    [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:theController animated:TRUE];
}

- (IBAction) toggleCreditsClosed:(id)inSender
{
    [self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:TRUE];
}

sorry to bring up an old thread, but for [self.view addSubview:theButton], what is theButton? I thought it should be infoButton but im kinda confused there.
