[MonoTouch] Monotouch dialog help needed.

[Nic Wise]

BTW, the code you posted is the same as:

RootElement root = new RootElement("Settings");

var sec = new Section();

var brightnessRoot = new RootElement("Brightness");
var sec2 = new Section();
var floatElement = new FloatElement(null, null, 0.5f);
sec2.Add(floatElement);
brightnessRoot.Add(sec2);

sec.Add(brightnessRoot);

root.Add(sec);

But you can also do this:

var floatElement = new FloatElement (null, null, 0.5f);
var anotherElement = new StringElement("Oh Hai!");

RootElement root = new RootElement ("Settings") {
	new Section (){
		new RootElement ("Brightness"){
			new Section (){
				floatElement,
				anotherElement
				new FloatElement(null, null, 0.6f)
			}
		}
	}
} ;
			

or any combination. You are just building an object graph up :)
