Hi All,

Making some excellent progress with EWB. My requirement is for a suite of apps that provide a front end to a bespoke server which happens to support a nice REST API using JSON. So, EWB is a very nice fit.

One funny I've noticed, however, relates to using a TListbox within the IOS version of Safari. The items are not shown until you click on the TLIstbox. They are then shown in an IOS popup. This applies to iPhone and iPad. The TListbox works perfectly in all of the "desktop" browsers that I've tried (Safari, IE8+, Chrome, Firefox).

What gives?

Thanks
Mark

This is an iOS-specific issue.  I've got to write a custom TListBox control
in order to work around this, and this is "on the list" but not completed
yet.  I would recommend using the TGrid or skipping the list box altogether
on iOS for now.

If you need something specific for the TGrid in order to emulate a list box,
let me know.

Understood Tim.

I'll go with the grid for now. Should be fine.

Thanks.
