Question

In the Sample project which comes with MonoTouch.Dialog, if you change the:

AutoHideSearch = true;

to

AutoHideSearch = false:

there is no difference, it always hides.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Answer 1

Sure it does. It’s designed to “hide” the UISearchBar from being presented to the user when the Dialog is “pushed”. When true it hides it until the user interacts with the DialogViewController. When false when the Dialog is presented it is shown to the user from the beginning.

And when we say hide we really mean it just adjusts the offset:

if (AutoHideSearch){
    if (enableSearch){
        if (TableView.ContentOffset.Y < 44)
            TableView.ContentOffset = new PointF (0, 44);
    }
}
