iOS Question ImageView - TopMiddle

[Alexander Stolte]

is it possible to set the image TopMiddle instead of TopLeft?

iv.MODE_TOPLEFT

Because this looks not good:

The best way to resize images, especially if you are building a cross platform solution, is to put the ImageView in a panel and move the ImageView based on the bitmap size. It is very simple and it will behave exactly like you want it.

there is a way to set this, but I am not a NativeObject expert ?

Dim naobj As NativeObject = iv                   
iv.ContentMode = naobj.GetField("UIViewContentMode ").GetField("top")

Stretching, Redrawing and Positioning with contentMode

The contentMode property of UIView allows you to control how to layout a view when the view’s bounds change. The system will not, by default, redraw a view each time the bounds change. That would be wasteful. Instead, depending on the content mode, it can scale, stretch or pin the contents to a...

To get contentMode use

Dim no As NativeObject = ImageView1
intCurrentMode = no.GetField ("contentMode").AsNumber

To set:

Dim no As NativeObject = ImageView1
no.SetField ("contentMode", intNewMode)

intNewMode possible values: see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiviewcontentmode?language=objc
UIViewContentModeScaleToFill is equal 0. UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit is equal 1. UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill is equal 2. And so on, according an order in Apple's description.

BTW, B4i does not control a value in ImageView.ContentMode. So, you can simply assign ImageView.ContentMode = 5 (UIViewContentModeTop) and to ignore a warning #22.

Thanks, you are the best.

I'm using this

Dim no As NativeObject = iv
no.SetField ("contentMode", 5)

instead of this

iv.ContentMode = 5

because you cant compile if you set this directly.

B4i 6.80 compiles and works. IDE gives warning (#22). If you do not want to see a warning, use #IgnoreWarnings

in release mode too? In debug mode it worked, but not on release.

You are right.

cast of an Objective-C pointer to 'UIViewContentMode *' (aka 'enum UIViewContentMode *') is disallowed with ARC

Strange... It's possible to find a workaround, but no reason to do this, because SetField requires 2 statements only.
