Using Mobile Pick Lists in the IDE

[Ralph DiMola]

Just use PickList as you would MobilePick and a list of options are
presented when in the IDE (or desktop app for that matter)It's simple and
dirty but let's you easily work on mobile apps in the IDE.
I love LC for making things like this so easy.

command PickList , tList , tInitialIndex , tPickOptions  -- Use PickList as
you would mobilepick
   
   if Dev() then
      Devpicklist tList
      return the result
   else
      mobilepick tList , tInitialIndex , tPickOptions
      return the result
   end if
   
end PickList

command DevPickList pList -- Development version of mobilepick
   local tIndex
   
   repeat with tIndex = 1 to the number of lines in plist
      put tIndex & "==>" before line tIndex of pList
    end repeat
   
   ask pList
   put it into tIndex
   if (tindex is not a number) or (tindex < 0) or (tIndex is empty) then put
0 into tindex
   if tIndex > the number of lines in pList then return 1
   return tIndex
   
end DevPickList


function dev -- Thanks to Jacqueline Landman Gay @ HyperActive Software for
this one.
   return the environment is "development"
end dev

in the IDE, rather than on the device, the better.  I, for one, would
appreciate you posting the code.
