Hi team, I wonder if there is any way (control / widget / function) to show a dialog box like the native iOS one in the attached image.

Many thanks in advance for any hint..

Use mergPop...

Many thanks Dixie. Anything similar for Android?

Best!

The mobilePick function is available for both iOS and Android.

thanks Richard. mobilePick doesn't look so nice as mergPop but will do the job.

You could 'roll your own' dialog box to look like that...

MobilePick should be using OS-native appearances. If it looks substantially different from what should be the same OS routines Monte's external is using IMO that would be a bug.

Richard, mobilePick "Presents the user with a native list picker dialog." while mergPop "is an iOS external that adds functions to present an action sheet (popover on iPad) and contextual menu for user interaction."

In other words mobilePick (works fine) brings up the "selection wheel" which is different from what I was originally looking for according to the initial post.

Hope I made myself clear...

Best!

All good, Simon. When you'd mentioned LC's use of the OS APIs in mobilePick "doesn't look so nice" I took that to mean it wasn't on par with OS conventions. If it is indeed doing what's expected on iOS it doesn't seem there's a problem.
