How to build a 'panel' in iPhone dev (with picture)?

Question

I need a toolbar like "panel" that could contain text fields and buttons, just like a toolbar you can define its width and height and its position. And you can put the elements you want into the "toolbar".

Like the following:

Any clues?

Answer 1

Not sure I understand. Can you not take a plain UIView and put text fields and buttons in it, with whatever height and width, and then addSubview it when you need to see it and removeFromSuperview when you are done?

Answer 2

Why not use the toolbar and add add subViews to it. You can layer UIViews and UIButtons as text.
