Checkbox in iOS application

Question

I need to add checkbox controls to my form. I know that there is no such control in iOS SDK. How could I do this?

Answer 1

Subclass UIButton, drop a button to view controller, select it and change class name to CheckBox in the identity inspector.

#import "CheckBox.h"

@implementation CheckBox

#define checked_icon @"checked_box_icon.png"
#define empty_icon @"empty_box_icon.png"

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if (self)
    {
        [self setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:empty_icon] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [self addTarget:self action:@selector(didTouchButton) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)didTouchButton {
    selected = !selected;
    if (selected)
        [self setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:checked_icon] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    else
        [self setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:empty_icon] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
