Howard, I am running out right now so I won't be able to look deeper into this just yet. But remember that with that code there are two scrolls going on. One for use in the IDE and the other for use on the device. The IDE code is:set the vScroll of group "InputScrollerGroup" to pOffsetY an

Hi Tom, Thank you for this code. It has been very helpful in getting me going on using an IOS scroller. It works fine except for the following situation, which is baffling me at this point. If I implement a scroller with your code, everything works they way I would expect it to. However, if I scr

Graham, I don't use mobgui but instead I use tmControl for layout of iOS elements. There are two types of scrolling lists possible in LC. The first is using mobilePick by itself or use an option button (that uses the iOS mobilePicker). The second is using either an LC field object or other obj

Chris, thanks again: you learn something new every day! As often in LC, this means that there are two pretty different ways of doing the same thing. While you were asleep (probably, as I see you're minus 6 hours compared to me), mobGUI support (in the person of John Dixon) clarified his first ex

Chris, thanks. I have had a look at this (I did not know about it at all) but it isn't really what I had in mind. I want a long list like a set of names in a notebook, so the style I'm looking for is much more like Apple's Contacts app, which does present such a list and allows one to pick from

Graham, Check out iphonePick, or mobilePick if you want to be cross platform. That should do what you want. It's all explained in the dictionary. Chris -- Chris Sheffield Read Naturally, Inc. www.readnaturally.com On Apr 4, 2012, at 10:31 AM, Graham Samuel wrote: > In an iOS app I'm developi

iOS - picking from a scrolling list

2012-04-04 Thread Graham Samuel
In an iOS app I'm developing I would like to use a scrolling text list where the user can drag the whole list up and down (i.e. scroll the list) but can also select a line by touching it. This type of interaction is permitted in iOS: a simple example is the index of Apple's own Contacts app. I
