I've ported my application from B4A to B4i, which has gone pretty smoothly. However, I have a few questions about the differences in appearance of certain controls in iPhone. The questions are all related to appearance (not functionality), so I figured that I would ask in one thread, instead of numerous threads (let me know if separate threads are preferred and I'm happy to do so):
TabBarController (as a substitute for a TabHost)
- Can the tabs be on the top of the screen, instead of at the bottom?
- Is it possible to obtain the height (or other dimensions, such as width, top, left, etc.) of the tabs, or to change any of the dimensions?
Switch (as a substitute for a Checkbox)
- The Switch works fine as a substitute for a B4A-style CheckBox, but looks a bit awkward when there are many Switches (the CheckBox provided nicer aesthetics). Is there a better substitute for the CheckBox, that look more like a CheckBox (the solution of using 'images' of a CheckBox won't suffice)?
RadioButtons
- I saw the posting about using Switches or Pickers as a substitute. Before I go down that path, is there another recommended substitute?
