To use the plugin:

Copy uikit.mm to Xcode project "plugins" directory and then add to Xcode project.

In the lua file:

require "ui"

The following is a somewhat hodgepodge collection of the classes, inheritance, and function names with the return values listed in C and the Lua parameters that are expected..

Global functions:

int hideStatusBar(bool show)
int addToRootView(view v)
int removeFromRootView(view v)
NSArray luaTableToArray(table t)

View : GEventDispatcherProxy

new()
void addView(view childView)
void removeFromParent()
void setPosition(int x, int y)
void setSize(int width, int height)

Button : View

new()
void setTitle(string title)
void setTitleColor(float r, float g, float b)
void setBGColor(float r, float g, float b)
void setFont(string fontname, float s)
void setImage(string imagefile)
void setBGImage(string imagefile)

Generated event: "onButtonClick"

Label : View

new()
void setText(string text)
void setTextColor(float r, float g, float b)
void setBGColor(float r, float g, float b)
void setFont(string fontname, float s)

AlertView : GEventDispatcherProxy

new(string title, string message, string button)
void show()
void addButton(string title)

Generated event: "complete"

Switch : View

new()

void setText(string text)
string getText()
void setTextColor(float r, float g, float b)
void setBGColor(float r, float g, float b)

//void setValue(float value)
//void setThumbImage(string imagefile)

new(float x, float y, float w, float h, float cw, float ch)
void add(view v)
