I am biting my way through the Ribbon and I got to yet another problem - how do I make dropdown menu, dropdown gallery or just a gallery? I will show you what I mean in screenshots; this question might a bit general, but I think this is as close as I can get.
Dropdown gallery:
I can't figure out how to create a gallery that would show on click at all. Even if it did, how do I fill in the pictures/buttons?
Gallery:
Same as above. No luck here.
I want to make a color selection galleries (both dropdown and 'normal') and this seems to be the best way - I don't want a button that would just open a ColorDialog on clicking.
Thanks for your help
I would post some code, but I don't see any relevant I could provide, since this is more like a GUI-related problem.
I haven't figured out how to do it, but I found this wonderful tool for Delphi - it works without problems so far. It is a little tricky to get used to, but it works pretty logically. Plus it has everything I can think of.

I'd like to be able to view my playlist in vlc in a manner where it is non-obtrusive. Currently it looks something like this:
My desire is kind of the opposite - have the actual video playing take up the majority of the screen and have the playlist unobtrusively off to the side (actually in reality I would probably be happy with an undocked playlist except for this bug.
I'm aware there is a hidden resizer between the video and the media sources thing, but in the image shown I cannot resize the video portion any larger than that.
I know this is a late response, but if anyone else is looking for an answer to this problem like I was, I'd like to spare them the headache of searching any further than necessary for it.
Juidging by this post on VideoLAN's forum made by the site administrator (Jean-Baptiste Kempf), this seems to be working as intended.
Yes, there is no way to have that mode. Either it's two windows, or you just have the preview instead of the thumbnail.
(my emphasis)
This is, in my opinion, a silly limitation/feature to have.
EDIT 2019:
It seems to now be possible to achieve what the OP wants. Just drag the top part of the video up and the navigation will get hidden, you'll see a vertical resize icon replacing the pointer icon when you hover over the line between the navigation and the video. This at least works on my version of VLC (Version 3.0.7.1) on Windows 10
I don't know when this was implemented but I'd feel very silly if I didn't try this before originally posting this answer.
We want a native rich text editor because we are trying to stay away from using Javascript and webviews for this solution.
We've tried many things so far, and we're left with quite a few obstacles that we just can't get around. Let me break it down into questions that I hope you can answer.
I have a UIButton, that says "B" on it, and I want to put it into the 'selected' state when a user sets 'Bold' from using the TextView's long-press gesture on a selection. How do I register for this state change? I tried adding an observer on the textView.attributedText, but it doesn't seem they are changing that dictionary, but instead are updating it. NSDictionary has no way, as far as I know, to add observers on the dictionary's keys. So I'm stuck with noticing this change.
Regarding number 1, I also tried setting the textView's inputDelegate and it seems that the method - (void)textDidChange:(id )textInput never gets called. :( Docs says is should. What did I do wrong?
How do I update the attributedText weight when I hit my bold italic or underline button.
How do I convert my attributed text into HTML?
I saw a few neat libraries for number 4, but I'm still curious what you'd come up with. (Broadens my options). But, I can't really work on number 4 until I figure out how to do the previous 3.
This editor will also need hyperlinks, bulleted lists, and numbered lists, more things I imagine I'll struggle through, but if you could answer the 4 questions above, that will keep me held over for a while. :)
Thanks!
Here is a link to an iOS rich text editor I've been working on.
https://github.com/aryaxt/iOS-Rich-Text-Editor
There is still a lot of work that has to be done, but the basic features are there.
The Apple sample application called 'TextEdit' does much of what you've described and, if not that, would be a very good starting point. Find the sample code with a search in the Organizer.
There is a commercial editor based on the DTCoreText library. I've used that library but not the rich text editor. Look at the Cocoanetics web site. It's not cheap but will save you a ton of work.
I've been working on app, that has side-menu. I've been inspired by other apps, and I want my menu to look similar to theirs. Here are some examples (steam app menu, fb menu)
Basically my question is, what kind of outlets are used in this menu? My first thought was, that those are tableviews with sections and static cells. However, even if they are tableviews, I've got no idea how to style my tableview that way. All I came up with, was this crappy design :D
I would be very glad, if someone could show me right way :) Thank you guys
There are alot of similar open source controls available.
Please check the below links:
SASlidemenu
JWSlidemenu
CHSlidecontroller
NVSlidemenucontroller
DDMenucontroller

You look on the right path. Unfortunately it is simply down to design aspects and the assets you use.
This project recreates the menu in a very similar way to Facebook's.
Is there any tutorials that show how to make a Image display similar to the Album Art diaply in iTunes? Or anything similar. I followed code posted here, but I just cannot seem to get it working in the new XCode. Opening his project works fine, but using it in my own, the UIImageView renders the images beyond it's borders, making them appear over each other.
Any help would be appreciated.
I assume you're talking about CoverFlow?
I wrote a free, very easy to use CoverFlow library. It's modelled on the way that UITableView works, so if you can use that, you can use this. You can get it from here:

This is how it looks (sorry, can't post images)
Delphi IDE ugly toolbar
(source: piccy.info)
What's wrong - disabled Delphi IDE toolbar and menu buttons are ugly black/white images.
What I want to do - make them look gray-scaled.
How? I made some research. Main problem in virtual TCustomImageList.DoDraw method. When paramater Enabled = False it paints ugly things (see disabled buttons on screenshot). I created my own override for this function and it paints gray-scaled images when Enabled = False
Now I want to replace default DoDraw with my own in IDE (using design-time package):
I figured out that unit ImgList is compiled-in bds.exe, so trick with patching this function in rtlXXX.bpl will not work.
Searching for function's body content gave no result. Looks like bds.exe's implementation (I'm talikng about machine codes) of DoDraw is a bit different.
Any suggestions or ideas of how can I make this possible? As base example of runtime code patching I took Andy's Midas Speed Fix: FindMethodPtr, HookProc, UnhookProc
I made it :) Thanks to everyone who participated or viewed this question!
This is how my IDE looks now:
Fixed toolbar http://blog.frantic.im/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/delphi-ide-after.PNG
I just messed up with vclXXX.pbl, my fault. Sources can be found here. Gradient toolbars must be enabled to make it work. If you are interested in further development of this idea - read this topic
Maybe I'm understanding the problem badly but if you just want to override the DoDraw function why don't you just create your own component that inherits from TCustomImageList, override the desired function so that it does what you want and register it into the IDE?
If you don't want to make your own overriden components, you can change the realization directly in [DelphiPath]\source\Win32\vcl\ImgList.pas.
But it is really not a good way.
I've always disliked the way Delphi creates default disabled images from enabled one. This not only manifests itself in the IDE, but it does persist down to the application you're developing. The disabled images in your application look just as bad.
I have in the past tried to figure out what Delphi did to derive the disabled images and build on that. But it still is on my "things to do" list to finish that off.
None-the-less, these are some articles about the Delphi "glitch" that I encountered quite a while ago that may or may not help you:
