Show a option list in valuesProvider, with 3 or less elements.

[Jesús]

Hello!

I need some help showing a list of elements in my DataForm. Originally i created a funcionallity based on a option list (NSInteger property of my BO) that has many elements to display (lets say 10). Then, this option list has been reduced to show only 2 elements. Unfortunelly, in my DataForm this option list is replaced by an segmented control (i think because is less than 4 elements, the minimum that shows an option list), and because of that, all my work with the data form is not used. So i would like to know if there is a way to use a option list by default for 3 or less elements in valuesProvider. And how can i achieve it?

Greetings!

Hello Jesús,

Thank you for your interest in DataForm for iOS.

Your observation is correct that when your list of values contains less than 4 elements the default editor is TKDataFormSegmentedEditor. You can easily set your preferred editor through the editorClass property:

_dataSource[@"myProperty"].valuesProvider = @[@"Option 1", @"Option 2", @"Option 3"];
_dataSource[@"myProperty"].editorClass = [TKDataFormOptionsEditor class];

I hope this information helps.
