I want to have a check box, like the standard one (first the check box and on the right its title) but I want it to be aligned from the right. If I change the alignment to the right then only the text will move to the right but the button itself will still be at the left.
How would I achieve this without knowing the bounds of the NSButton?
Read about Interface Layout in the Interface Builder user guide. As it turns out, just make your checkbox as big as you need to initially, and then set the struts and springs to make it resize correctly as it changes.
To do the same thing in code, read about the setAutoresizingMask: method in NSView.

I need to horizontally center layout a UITextField, however, since the clear button is part of it, the (text entry portion of) text field doesn't look centered - the clear button isn't always visible but it is taken into account when laying out.
In the image above, the UITextField is horizontally centered, however, without the clear button (X on the right) and with only search text, it doesn't look like centered.
A way I can think of, is to subclass UITextField and provide alignmentRectInsets, for inset on the right I would use clearButtonRect(forBounds:) to get the size of clear button, whose width will be the right inset for alignmentRectInsets.
Question:
Apple's doc specifically mentions that one should not call clearButtonRect(forBounds:) directly, so I'm feeling a bit nervous for doing it; However, from the doc it feels like Apple's intention is to let people not changing the rect, and in my case I'm just getting its size, I guess it's fine?
Is there any better way of achieving this? I know I can tweak edgeInsets, or give the text field a leftView, to make the text field looking centered; But they all need some hardcoded assumption for the size of the clear button.
Thanks!
You can make the UITextField Alignment settings as middle then it will work. Check the below image
You can control over here.It may helps to you.Thank you.
I have always had this problem and could never figure out how to solve it. My issue is that I want to produce a similar thing as the photo: Image
I want to be able to have text fields connect like this and be able to have a 'label' on the left while still being able to input on the right. Any help is greatly appreciated.
If I am not mistaken, I think that what you want is to have a label on the left and a textview on the right. The image you have supplied looks like the textViews and labels reside within a UITableView controller as static cells. What they have most likely have done here is simply extended the label from the left to the centre and the textview from the right to the centre, such that each takes up half the cell (and added constraints). Then you can set the text alignment to left for the label and right for the textview. The final thing you should do is get rid of the border of the textview, which can be found in the attributes inspector and is called Border Style. You want to set it to the far left option, like this:
As the background of the cell is white and the textview's also, you shouldn't need to change it, but if you do there is an attribute for that a bit further down that you can have a play with.
Searched all over Google and I'm afraid I can't find an answer to this.
Here is my current situation:
Instead of having those checkbox aligned to the left I want them centered like so (photoshopped obviously):
Anybody know how to achieve this with VCL? Thanks.
Edit:
These components are inside a TGridPanel and for whatever reason the Left and Top properties have no effect on the position of the component in the cell. I have also looked for any layout properties with no luck.
The controls inside the TGridPanel are automatically center-aligned. If you reduce the width of the checkboxes to the correct value it should be centered as requested. Be aware that if you reduce the size too much the checkbox will shrink.
I managed to find a solution although it's rather messy. But for future reference I had to create a panel for every single cell in my GridPanel then that allowed me to set the left padding property of the panel to push my TCheckboxes over.
Yes it's super inefficient but it's the best I've got so far. Also fixes my issue of wanting to show the cell outlines inside the GridPanel.
I'm trying to make an app. I prepared the ui with sketch app.And I export the ui , it is like this:
I add some text field and button to View
But when I use Auto Layout and constraints buttons and text fields are going to another place.I need the use them like in the picture.What should I do ? Do you have any suggestion ?
Thank You
Notice the red arrow at the top right of your second screen shot. That is telling you that your constraints are faulty. Until you fix them, you will not see your interface widgets in the desired locations.
In general, as long as you see a red or yellow arrow in that spot, you need to work on your layout some more. Do not attempt to run a project when Interface Builder shows you that red or yellow arrow; your results will be disappointing, to say the least.
No doubt an obvious question for those in the know but I'm trying to make my view look nice (ie. expand vertically) on an iPhone 5. To do this I've been told I should have the autosizing mask set in such a way that all items are ticked, including the interior two arrows.
Trouble is on this particular view I can't tick those arrows, it won't let me.
Any ideas?
Here's what the image looks like:
In interface builder go to the pane on the right hand side of the screen. If you go to the 4th tab from the left:
You will probably see that you have the "Size" set to something other than "Freeform". If you set it to freeform you will then be able to set the "springs" on the view so that it fills it's superview.
Hope this helps.
