UIPicker

[stephen]

Hello,

I've setup a UIPicker as a view controller and its not quite the way I want it.

How can I set it up as in the image in the link below:

How to use Picker in iphone? | iPhone Tutorials for Developers

I want to have a textbox with a drop down arrow and have the picker load a sub view of my current View Controller.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,
Stephen

Hi stephen once again,
wt is ur actual problem i dnt understand

Okay, I want the user to be able to tap on textbox/dropdown menu (as in the link) and select some predefined values from the picker. I'm not sure how to go about call the PickerViewController when the users taps on the textbox ?

I have the following code in place:

PickerViewController.h

@interface PickerViewController : UIViewController {

	IBOutlet UIPickerView *pickerView;
	NSMutableArray *list;
}

@end

PickerViewController.m

#import "PickerViewController.h"

@implementation PickerViewController


-(NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView{
	return 1;
}


-(NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger) forComponent:(NSInteger) component{
	return[list count];
}


-(NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component{
	return[list objectAtIndex:row];
}


-(void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component{
	NSLog(@"Selected item: %@ index of selected item: %i",[list objectAtIndex:row], row);
}

// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
	
	list = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
	[list addObject:@"red"];
	[list addObject:@"blue"];
	[list addObject:@"yellow"];
	[list addObject:@"pink"];
}

- (void)dealloc {
	[list release];
    [super dealloc];
}


@end

okay, forget about the drop down menu, a bit more research tells me that it can't be done.

So, I want the user to tap on a textbox(doesn't have to be a text box) and have the UIPicker appear, their selection should then appear in the box.
