Question

Answer 1

A:

Keep the buttons separate from the ring.

The ring is just a graphical element (UIImageView) on which the six UIButton instances sit atop.

Make the ring and its buttons subviews of a parent view. Use the frame property to set their position and size.

Your first "top-most" button could have a selector that then unhides the ring and the six buttons:

- (void) unhideButtonRing:(id)sender {
    ringElement.hidden = NO;
    buttonOne.hidden = NO;
    ...
    buttonSix.hidden = NO;
}

You could use an NSTimer to hide the button-ring after some time period.

so you want me to put mannually those buttons ... but lets say i have 4 base buttons on screen and each base button on click should display that ring ..with all 6 buttions and method ... its will be too messy to write coordinate.. plz help me i am dead :( any code or any link

You could write a `UIView` subclass that draws a ring of buttons. You can then make as many rings as you want, and place them anywhere you want.

how to draw rings of buttons??

ram 2010-07-12 09:17:24

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { // Drawing code NSLog(@"just cvcvccvcvcclicked"); UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; button.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100); [button setTitle:@"button" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [self addSubview:button]; }you mean like this i have to make 6 buttons??

ram 2010-07-12 09:27:06

Yep. Or use Interface Builder.

Alex Reynolds 2010-07-12 09:42:47

so you mean if i have to show 4 base button then i have to write 4*6= 24 buttons coordinates???

ram 2010-07-12 09:59:52

Not if you set the button-ring frame values relative to the base buttons. When you instantiate your custom UIView, pass it the base button coordinates and draw the view relative to the base button.
