The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
1 With a nib:
ReplyDeleteIf you use a nib you can simply size / layout your label and table view so that they are positioned as desired. A UITableView can be made any size and take up any portion of the screen.
2 Without a nib
Create / alloc / initialize your label and table, and then add them to the view:
[self.view addSubview:myTableView];
[self.view addSubview:myLabel];
The magic step to this is that you need to set the frame of both your label and table view. Thats something that is really custom so I cant help you with that without more direction however it may look something like this:
// the number 10 is used for padding purposes
CGSize labelWidth = CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width-20, 1000.0f);
CGSize textSize = [myLable.text sizeWithFont:myLable.font constrainedToSize:labelWidth lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
myLable.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, labelWidth.width, textSize.height);
myTableView.frame = CGRectMake(0, myLable.frame.origin.y+10, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height - (myLable.frame.origin.y+10));
Please note that calculating frames can be done MANY ways. Also you will probably have to recalculate the frames manually for rotations.
Hope this helps Good Luck!
Depending on the answer to my questions in the comments, there are several answers.
ReplyDeleteIf you want the label to always be on top whether or not the tableview is scrolled, make sure you are using an instance of UIViewController, then create your two views. Set the frame appropriately and then add the label view and the table view as subviews to the main view.
If you want the label to scroll away, that's even easier. Your UIViewController can remain a subclass of UITableViewController. UITableView has a property called tableHeaderView. myTableView.tableHeaderView = labelView;
You could to like Rachel said
ReplyDelete[self.view addSubview:myTableView];
[self.view addSubview:myLabel];
or after placing it
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:myTableView]
