UIKit Data Types Reference

Overview

The UIKit framework defines data types that are used in multiple places throughout the framework.

Data Types

UIBarStyle

Defines the stylistic appearance of different types of views.

typedef enum {
   UIBarStyleDefault          = 0,
   UIBarStyleBlack            = 1,
   
   UIBarStyleBlackOpaque      = 1, // Deprecated
   UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent = 2, // Deprecated
} UIBarStyle;

Constants

UIBarStyleDefault

Use the default style normally associated with the given view. For example, search bars and tool bars typically use a blue gradient background.

Available in iOS 2.0 and later.

Declared in UIInterface.h.

UIBarStyleBlack

Use an opaque black style.

Available in iOS 3.0 and later.

Declared in UIInterface.h.

UIBarStyleBlackOpaque

Deprecated. Use UIBarStyleBlack instead.

Available in iOS 2.0 and later.

Declared in UIInterface.h.

UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent

Deprecated. Use UIBarStyleBlack and set the translucent property to YES instead.

Available in iOS 2.0 and later.

Declared in UIInterface.h.

UIDataDetectorTypes

Defines the types of information that can be detected in text-based content.

enum {
   UIDataDetectorTypePhoneNumber   = 1 << 0,
   UIDataDetectorTypeLink          = 1 << 1,
   UIDataDetectorTypeAddress       = 1 << 2,
   UIDataDetectorTypeCalendarEvent = 1 << 3,
   UIDataDetectorTypeNone          = 0,
   UIDataDetectorTypeAll           = NSUIntegerMax
};
typedef NSUInteger UIDataDetectorTypes;

Constants

UIDataDetectorTypePhoneNumber

Detect strings formatted as phone numbers.

Available in iOS 3.0 and later.

Declared in UIDataDetectors.h.

UIDataDetectorTypeLink

Detect strings formatted as URLs.

Available in iOS 3.0 and later.

Declared in UIDataDetectors.h.

UIDataDetectorTypeAddress

Detect strings formatted as addresses.

Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

Declared in UIDataDetectors.h.

UIDataDetectorTypeCalendarEvent

Detect strings formatted as calendar events.

Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

Declared in UIDataDetectors.h.

UIDataDetectorTypeNone

Do no data detection.

Available in iOS 3.0 and later.

Declared in UIDataDetectors.h.

UIDataDetectorTypeAll

Detect all available types of data.

Available in iOS 3.0 and later.

Declared in UIDataDetectors.h.

UIEdgeInsets

Defines inset distances for views.

typedef struct {
   CGFloat top, left, bottom, right;
} UIEdgeInsets;

UIOffset

Defines a structure that specifies an amount to offset a position.

typedef struct UIOffset {
   CGFloat horizontal, vertical
} UIOffset;
