BhWax
 URL : https://github.com/bowerhaus/BhWax
 Price : Free
 Platforms : Gideros Studio
BhWax is a plug-in for Gideros and is based on Corey Johnsons' Wax library for Objective-C. This
exposes the iOS API to Lua and more specifically to Gideros. With this plug-in one can create native
UIKit elements and UIWindow, UIViews, etc.
Sample Code
require "wax"
function show()
print("Down")
end
function hide()
print("Up")
end
btn = UIButton:buttonWithType(UIButtonTypeRoundedRect)

btn:setTitle_forState("Pressed", UIControlStateHighlighted)
getRootViewController():view():addSubview(btn)
btn:addTarget_action_forControlEvents(self,"hide", UIControlEventTouchDown)
btn:addTarget_action_forControlEvents(self,"show", UIControlEventTouchUpInside)
