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
