Question

I am trying to create a simple app that displays a list of items with check boxes next to each item, then give the user to simply check each box. Nothing (aside from the checkbox image switching) needs to happen when the check box is touched.

Each checklist is a seperate NSDictionary contained in a single master NSDictionary. The checklist dictionary contains arrays for different sections of each checklist.

At the top of the view, the user selects which set (dictionary) of checklists they want to open then I want that checklist to display underneath the picker once a “select checklist” button is pressed.

Any ideas on the best way to get this done?

The easiest thing is to use a UITableView with the accessoryType set to UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark for the marked cells. You can find lots of tutorials on working with UITableViews, and it’ll be very simple to do what you’re describing. For changing the data set, a UISegmentedControl is probably the way to go (if you weren’t planning on using that already).
