Hey folks!
I'm having a little issue here! I'll explain what I'm doing
first  ;-)
When I start editing my tableview (using the "edit" button) I have a
button displayed as the navigationitem's rightbarbuttonitem.
Now, I would like that button look like the back button, but pointing
forward... a forward button!
Does anyone know how to do that? I've been looking through sample
code
on the apple iphone developer center and I've read quite a lot of
guides and looked through the class references without any solution.
If you don't know what I mean: What I mean is the button displayed in
the iPhones iPod program on the right hand side when a song is
playing
and you're back in the tab view (where you select songs/lists/etc)
Thanks for any help :-) davidjkoster

P.S.: A copy has been posted in iphonesdkdevelopment, as crossposting
is not possible in that group.

Why not just use normal table-editing semantics? (Double-click in a
cell.)

The what's what, now? What's a navigationitem and a rightbarbuttonitem?

Isn't that just an isosceles triangle pointing to the right?

Aside from that, as a long-time Mac user I can't imagine what I should
infer from such a button in regard to table editing. The button that I
think you're describing is well established in the world of web browsers
and (more recently) Finder as a way to revisit a series of navigational
nodes from which one has recently backtracked.

The iPhone SDK is still under NDA. It cannot be discussed in any public
forum at this time. It can't even be discussed in any private forum
among developers who are not employed by the same company.

PS: This is off-topic for comp.lang.objective-c. I've removed the Obj-C
group from the groups list.

And pretty much everything in the Google group you've referenced is an
NDA violation as well. I shouldn't be at all surprised to find out that
Apple has a mole there taking note of everyone who participates.

This is not really what I wanted to talk about, but lets do it!

There's articles and tutorials about iPhone programming everywhere on
the web, as well as open source apps that have been published in the
app store.
But ok, this doesn't seem to be the right group anyways.... although I
haven't mentioned it directly, I am writing an iPhone application
("apple iphone developer center") and the reply I got was not at all
about iPhone programming. Perhaps this is the incorrect group, I just
thought it seems to be the best group, if there's no public iPhone
programming group.

Thanks anyways for replying

What's not what you want to talk about? You left no context at all.
Considering that the message to which you've responded contained several
distinct ideas, I have no idea where you're going from this introduction.

Ah. I infer you've ignored most of the message and focussed on the NDA
topic.

The answer is: It doesn't matter how many people are violating their
NDA. They're *all* violating the NDA. A lot of them seem to honestly not
be aware that they're doing so; I gave you the benefit of the doubt that
you might be in that group and offered a simple warning.

It's not allowed to be. If you want to ask about iPhone programming
today, you have to ask Apple directly or you have to go to a forum where
people don't mind breaking their agreements and risking civil suits.
This is not either of those.

Right-- like Apple's own web site, where such discussions are tacitly
tolerated.  Just head over to
<http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164> where you'll
find plenty of iPhone developer discussions.  Apple won't permit iPhone
discussion on their developer mailing lists, but apparently have no
problem permitting them on their web site.

Let's not. What part of NDA is not clear to you?
