Question

I need make demi-transparent border and rect ( where WHITE wrote ) with similar corners

like on MacOS X if you select file ( in Icon view in Finder ) with name in 2 or more rows.

How i need to do ?

Answer 1

Use the CALayer of a UIView. The cornerRadius, borderColor, and borderWidth properties of the layer of a view should do it for you. Something like this:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UIView *containerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 50, 50)];
    containerView.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0;
    containerView.layer.borderWidth = 2.5;
    containerView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor colorWithRed:0.25 green:0.25 blue:0.25 alpha:0.5] CGColor];
    [self.view addSubview:containerView];
    [containerView release];
}

Dont forget to #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> at the top of the .m file, or you can put it in your -Prefix.pch file if you use layers often.
