MOBGUI QuickJump Scrolling Text

Post by cenglish » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:10 pm

Hello,

I currently have a scrolling text(list) field set up in my ios application and wanted to add a feature, but haven't been able to see how to easily do it. What I'm wanting is simply two things:
1. Alphabetic QuickJump reference on the side of my scrolling text(list) field so that the user can select the letter R to have the list instantly jump to words that begin with the letter "R". Just exactly like in the contacts on the iphone. The numbers shortcut along with that would be great as well.
2. I would also like to show the alphabet letter showing the separation between the words. Exactly like it's done in the contact list on the iphone. Not necessarily with the grey bar going across, but the letter with a simple line under it to distinguish going into a new set of words would be great.

So basically what I need is a setup exactly like how ios handles the contacts in the iphone with the quickjump referenced alphabet on the side and letters separating the words. I am using MOBGUI native scroller control. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
