Question

As of now, I can only do:

`UIAlertView* dialog = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
 [dialog setDelegate:self];
 [dialog setTitle:@"New Game"];
 [dialog setMessage:@"Are you sure you want to start a new game? This will overwrite your current game."];
 [dialog addButtonWithTitle:@"Yes"];
 [dialog addButtonWithTitle:@"No"];
 [dialog show];
 [dialog release];

...

- (void) alertView:(UIAlertView *)alert clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
    if(buttonIndex==0) {
        gametype = 1;
        [[CCDirector sharedDirector] replaceScene:[CCTransitionCrossFade transitionWithDuration:1 scene:[GameScene node]]];
    }
}
`

The bad thing is that the dialog box really does not mix in with the whole theme of the application.

Is there a way I can customize or create a dialogue box that appears?

I’ve heard that customizing UIAlertView has been very controversial to the point of being rejected form the app store. I don’t think I should go with this method. Do you have any suggestions/code I can use?

PS: I have a dialogue box image and yes/no buttons already done.

Answer 1

If you already have a dialog box and YES/NO buttons, then I would just add the dialog box the the layer a sprite with the YES/NO buttons overlaid as CCMenuItemImage(s). Then you can have the no button just hide the visibility of the menu and the dialog box and the yes button replace the scene.

dialogBox = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"dialogBox.png"];
CCMenuItemImage *yesButton = [CCMenuItemImage itemFromNormalImage:@"yes.png" selectedImage:@"yes.png" target:self selector:@selector(yesSelector)]
CCMenuItemImage *noButton = [CCMenuItemImage itemFromNormalImage:@"no.png" selectedImage:@"no.png" target:self selector:@selector(noSelector)]

Then in your noSelector method you can just hide the dialog box and in your yesSelector just replace the scene.
