BlackBerry options screen in application - blackberry

I would like to create an "Options" screen in a blackberry application, so when running the application they click the blackberry button and have an "Options" MenuItem. I can create this manually, but I wonder if there's a standard way to do it, as I noticed all of the standard applications (contacts, calendar, messaging, etc) all have a standard look and feel.
Please note I am not talking about the OptionsManager/OptionsProvider - these are to provide options for the application in the global settings, not within the application itself.

As I know, there is no standard option screen in BlackBerry. Take a look on Implement advanced buttons, fields, and managers. There is FieldSet component inside their sample project, it allows to create layouting and styling very similar to standard option screens.

Do you mean the CHANGE_OPTION MenuItem?
You can use MenuItem.getPrefab(int) with MenuItem.CHANGE_OPTION.

Why shouldn't the qdialog be used in forms?

I want to use the q-dialog for a form with about 20 inputs. But in the documentation it is told that it should only be used for small quick things.
From a UI perspective, you can think of Dialogs as a type of floating
modal, which covers only a portion of the screen. This means Dialogs
should only be used for quick user actions, like verifying a password,
getting a short App notification or selecting an option or options
quickly.
What should I use instead of Dialog for my modal forms ?
Quasar is a cross-platform framework. Its UI components are meant to be used for desktop and mobile devices. If you put a lot of child UI elements inside a Dialog on mobile devices, it won't fit in screen size and the whole idea of a dialog would fail. Thus, it's better if you make a dedicated view for your form with 20 inputs.

How to create radio buttons and drop down menu bar in Swift (for iOS app development)?

I am beginner in iOS app development and am creating an app where I need to create radio button and drop sown menu bar using swift .
Please suggest me, how could I do that ??
Welcome to SO. In general, this site isn't really suited to "show me how to do <development task>" questions. It's intended for specific technical questions about code you are trying to get working.
I'll take pity on you since this is your first post.
Neither radio buttons nor drop-down menus are standard iOS controls. You should consider using iOS standard user interface elements instead.
The iOS equivalent of radio buttons is a segmented control (UISegementedControl)
The iOS equivalent of a drop-down menu is a UIPickerView.
If you really want radio buttons and drop-down menus you could create them yourself, but as a beginner that is likely over your head. You might want to look for open source components that do what you need. Try checking out CocoaControls. There are lots and lots of custom controls. You can likely find what you're looking for there under a reasonable source license like the MIT license.

Custom Dock in Gimp

In GIMP: is there a way how to make my own custom dock (toolbar) where a could put my most used functions?
Something like this:
Create new empty dock or toolbar
Somehow set what functions will be in it
(any of the functions, no matter it has an icon or where in menus is located)
I'd like to have it so I don't have to search in menus every time I need something. I'm aware that I can make keyboard shortcuts but they are difficult to remember since I don't use Gimp every day. I'm used to this from Corel Photopaint and I think it is really useful.
Thanks for your suggestions.
In GIMP 2.8, you can only customize the dockable dialogs - by dragging then around, and in another level, customize tool presets and make use of the tags in the presets dialog to quckly access paint-modes with set brushes, gradients and painting dynamics - so, keeping the tool-presets dialog around, and appropriately using the tags can give you quick access to these settings.
You can't, however, add additional menu entries or icons to select particular plug-ins (filters) - and access those from any of the dockable dialogs. without rebuilding GIMP, you could edit the XML files at /usr/share/gimp/2.0/menus to customize your menus.
In the master branch, the unstable "GIMP 2.9" which will eventually become GIMP 2.10, there is a "search" action implemented, initiated by pressing the / character that will probably make it for the need to quickly find-out any operations wanted.

Create a drop down select box with dynamic options

I am trying to recreate a popular effect that all iPhone users have seen before on their settings page. Something like when selecting a wireless network. There is normally a title that says "Available Networks" with a blue arrow icon to the right. onClick there is an accordion style slide down effect to reveal the available networks.
I am trying to recreate this to use as a drop down input for my app's settings page since iPhone does not have anything like that in their storyboard builder interface. The other issue is the options will be dynamic (coming from a database).
Has anyone seen a tutorial on this or maybe an open source app I can use as reference.
I am using iOS 6.1 using Storyboards.
EDIT
I should have spent a little more time researching I am sure I would have have this post that was very helpful regardind the actual code for the drop-down not so much the dynamic data. How to create DropDown in xcode?

How do I make an Internet Explorer add-on that doesn't display a toolbar?

I'm trying to make an IE add-on that works only in background, without a toolbar panel. I do not want my add-on to display a toolbar panel because i do not need it. I found an example add-on in Delphi, but how do I make it to work in the background without a toolbar?
The example project you provide implements a Tool Band. It implements the IDeskBand interface to display a toolbar in IE.
For the functionality you are asking for, you need to implement a Browser Helper Object instead, which is a completely different beast, and a very different implementation than a Tool Band.
