I'm looking at the feasibility of an iPad application. A primary view would allow for the entry of lines of text, paired with lines of annotation. Annotation lines and text lines would have different attributes: height, font, edit methods.... In fact it might be better for the annotation line to contain custom graphic symbols, but that's not a certainty. Text lines would be edited using the virtual keyboard; annotation lines would be manipulated by touch.
Essentially, it would be arranged something like:
Annotation line 1
Text line 1
Annotation line 2
Text line 2
...
My problem is that I'm not familiar enough with the UIKit to figure out what kind of view I should be using to build this interface If I were writing a program for the Mac, I'm fairly sure that I could convince NSTextView to do what I want. With Cocoa Touch, UITextView doesn't support multiple attributes. UITableView doesn't support variable cell heights and is said not to work well with UITextFields in cells. Perhaps I need to use my own container view and dynamically alternate UILabels and UITextFields...or subclass UITextView...or build a new view type from scratch.... Core text? Other suggestions?_______________________________________________
