Our control of the week, AutocompletionTableView offers you an autocompletion experience reminiscent of what you get with a UISearchDisplayController, but with a far more lightweight feel. Simplified BSD license.

I want to mention that we greatly appreciate your control submissions. I am continually impressed by the resourcefulness, dedication to quality, and willingness to share demonstrated by our community. To that end, I wanted to mention a few things about the process behind the scenes, both so you can better understand how and when content is published to the site, and also to help us streamline the process.

Meet HMLauncherView, from Heiko Maass, our latest control of the week. HMLauncherView is another Springboard control, but it’s also so much more.

The control is made available under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.

Welcome to another Cocoa Controls Weekly Roundup. I hope you all had a productive week and a relaxing weekend! Over here, we’ve been hard at work upgrading the site to Rails 3.2 in order to make a whole raft of forthcoming feature and performance improvements far easier to implement.

The other big news of the week, of course, was the announcement of The New iPad. Have you placed your pre-order yet? If not, it looks like every iPad model i...

Photo Picker+, our control of the week, is a new library from the recently-launched YC startup, Chute. It replaces the native photo chooser, and lets you select photos from Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, or Instagram, in addition to the local Camera Roll or Photo Stream. It returns the photo in the exact same format as the native image picker on iOS and Android so it is very simple to integrate. MIT licensed. You’ll also need to sign up for a free account

Welcome to another weekly roundup! We have a bunch of really cool, very inventive new controls for you this week. Enjoy!
