Pick Wheel not displaying on Iphone

Post by askari » Sat Jul 30, 2011 6:46 pm

Hi All,

I successfully deployed an app to my iphone to test it out however some of the controls like the option button don't have the glossy look as is the case in the IDE and when I attempt to select the drop down, I don't get the native iphone pick wheel instead i get a grey background with the options to pick from. Has anyone run into this and can help???

Only a few native controls are supported and you need to script them. For static controls, the usual practice is to supply images and use them as controls, or as button icons. Alternately, check out the really great MobGUI plugin (there is a forum area here on it) which does most of the work for you. If you'd rather script your own picker in place of the option menu, see "iPhonePick" in the dictionary.

Thanks jacque,

Got MobGUI and it's really useful although it doesn't seem like the pick wheel is part of the available controls. I guess I should ask this on the MobGui forum but I appreciate your help getting me this far.

Regards

Figured this out, I was using combo box instead of option for my button type. All is well again.

Thanks
