iOS - picking from a scrolling list

[Chris Sheffield]

You can change the appearance. So it can be a picker wheel or a scrolling list of values to pick from, much like you described in your initial post. At least on the iPad. Maybe the appearance is always the same on an iPhone/iPod Touch. Not totally sure. Anyway, I have an iPad app where I've used the scrolling list version and it works well. It would be nice if it had some other options available, like being able to set the position or being able to apply text styles.

> Chris, thanks. I have had a look at this (I did not know about it at all) but it isn't really what I had in mind. I want a long list like a set of names in a notebook, so the style I'm looking for is much more like Apple's Contacts app, which does present such a list and allows one to pick from it, rather than a wheel where one sees very few names at any one time, and it is quite hard to whizz from one end of say a 100-item list to another. I'm pleased to say that I've had a reply from MobGUI and I'll see what that looks like and report back.
