Pickers

A Picker is a component where you can select something. We have several different Pickers in our library, which are found below.

Item Picker

An item picker should be used by you to let people pick an item from a list of items. The item picker is an in-line button with a title that people tap to start picking from the items. When an item is picked, the item will be displayed as a part of the in-line button.

Usage

In the following example, the item picker is populated by a list of Person named People , where Person have a a property DisplayName to be used for people to see when picking the item from the item picker.

 <dui:ItemPicker Title="Person"
                 Mode="BottomSheet"
                 ItemsSource="{Binding People}"
                 SelectedItem="{Binding PickedPerson}"
                 ItemDisplayProperty="DisplayName"/>

UX Considerations

You should select a proper Mode for the item picker depending on the size of each item and the length of the items to pick from. ContextMenu mode is preferred if the number of items are short and the length of each item to display is short, otherwise BottomSheet is preferred.

Date/Time Pickers

There are three types of date/time pickers:

Inspiration


Date Picker

A date picker should be used by you to let people pick a date. The date picker is an in-line button with a title that people tap to start picking the date. When a date is picked, the date will be displayed as a part of the in-line button.

HorizontaInlineDatePicker

If you need to display a horizontal line that people can swipe to select dates, you can use the HorizontalInlineDatePicker. People can tap the selected date to get a native DatePicker to select the date from.
