hi,
i want to set a boolean value by using a SCSwitchCell.
But i think for boolean values, users are more used to use checkmarks than to use swiches...

any chance to use checkmarks instead of the switch?


thanks,
Martin

Apple's default control for setting boolean values is the UISwitchControl. As far as I know, that's the only control they use in their applications to have users choose boolean values.

What do you have in mind for a checkmark control? Is it something like the checkbox control on OS X or is it something different?

oh - you are right, they are using switches for boolean values.
sorry i had some of those checkmark ones on my mind ..


I want to use it for a privacy-agreement, accepted/not accepted - a swtich with on/off is not really suitable in this case ..

any suggestion how i should implement it?

thank you

How about using an SCSegmentedCell with two segments: (Accept, Decline) ?

yes that would be an option ... still thinking about a good ui flow .. hm



nevertheless i think for some cases it would be really convenient to have a checkmark option for the switchcell, maybe just as a style parameter...

might be a feature for a future release


thanks anyway!

You have to keep in mind that you should always follow Apple's UI guidlines when you're developing your user interfaces. Apple has the best UX & UI engineers in the world, and yet, they opted to leave out such a checkbox control from their framework. Not only does using Apple's recommendations provide your users with the best user experience, it also provides them with controls they're familiar with.

You can think of what you want as a radio-button like control (either Accept or Decline). The way Apple implements radio buttons in their applications is by using the UISegmentedControl (e.g.: in mail setting when you choose between IMAP & POP).

Hope this helps
