Hi. For me it worked really well to close the list when it clicks outside of it. The biggest issue for me was that I couldn't use selectedItems or selectedIndices to set the "selected" behaviour for the item renderers. This can be easily done by removing the exclusions of these properties in the D

Actually, due to DropDownList extending List, I think this would be a reasonable simple fix. Users would have to click outside the list to close it and commit the selection though, or add a new button to close it, as it couldn't close on selection. Tink On 20 Jan 2012, at 09:56, Tink wrot

I would suggest an extension or DropDownList for this, as its not really common functionality. Tink Ryan we really should meet up! On 20 Jan 2012, at 09:34, andrei apostolache wrote: Hi. An issue that I had with DropDownList is the exclusion of selectedItems in the DropDownListBase. I

Hi. An issue that I had with DropDownList is the exclusion of selectedItems in the DropDownListBase. I had to do some workarounds to be able to have multiple selections in a DropDownList. Regards, Andrei. On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 12:01 AM, Ryan Frishberg wrote: > Hey Tink, > > I can't say for s

Hey Tink, I can't say for sure if I'll be here or not in May. My current lease expires in April, and if it's easy to find a short lease, I may stay a bit longer. Otherwise, I'll pack myself back to the states :-) I'll stay-tuned for the Spoon announcement and attempt to atleast make one London

In some mobile projects based on AIR I ended up creating a SkinnablePopUpContainer to provide drop down lists with a more native feeling. The "mobile way" of presenting a selection among a list of values is usually obtained displaying the value of the selected item, and to open, on touch, a popup

I've been doing some performance testing with SpinnerList and find it's so heavy that using it in combination with a ViewNavigator takes an unacceptable amount of time to switch views if the spinner is on the new view. A proper functioning mobile DropDownList would be a great contribution for a li

A SpinnerList is a UI element for a different task. There is no reason why DropDownList shouldn't be available to mobile devs (unless there is a good reason of course ;)). Here's a DropDownList on the Android Design document (although is called a spinner it is our DropDownList) http://devel

Hey Tink, In 4.6, SpinnerList was added--is that good enough, or is this serving a different use-case? -Ryan P.S. - I still plan on going to a London user group meeting, but I'm out of town or busy during all of the scheduled ones (including January). Hopefully soon, I'll get a chance to swing

I've but an example up of what I believe could be a very simple fix for a DropDownList working on mobile (obviously I'll put an AS skin together if you guys are interested in this fix). On desktop the item is selected on mouse down and the drop down closed. This doesn't work on mobile as th
