Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, that seems like it would work. Thanks! ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: iOS UI Design Question / Opinions wanted
Custom button with your own graphic tick/cross is probably what I'd use for this. That's easy to do and fits pretty well with the ios look and feel. Either have two buttons and use them as radio buttons (unselect one when you hit the other) or if perhaps try one button which switches states each time you hit it. If that had a graphic with a large tick and small cross for the "yes" state and the opposite for the "no" state it would be quite obvious that you need to hit it to toggle.

iOS UI Design Question / Opinions wanted
Hi, Just getting more into iOS development, and am deciding on what to do for an app. One app is a "competition scoring" application, where the judges would use the app to calculate and score a game. The scores would are derived from a series of "challenges", each worth a set number of points. Each challenge score is determined by a Yes/No completion - Did XYZ happen? Did The other thing happen? etc. I was trying to figure out how to design the UI and while for a web version that we already have that uses radio buttons for each question, I'm not sure what would be best for an iOS app. I looked at the UISwitch, but it shows "On/Off" and that's not quite right. A segmented control could possibly work, with one for Yes and one for No. I thought a checkbox to signify "Yes" - but it doesn't look like iOS has checkboxes (how did I never notice that!). I want to make it simple, so popping up a separate alert/window would incur an extra step. So I'm soliciting opinions / suggestions.
