Drop down list for iPhone application

How can I add drop-down list to my iPhone application via Interface builder in Xcode 4. I can't see any object like drop-down list controller or something like that?

here is another way of doing it http://www.edumobile.org/iphone/iphone-programming-tutorials/a-simple-drop-down-list-for-iphone/

Or here is one not everyone knows: The action sheet is basically a drop down list if you think about it. And if you keep adding buttons to a UIActionSheet it ends up turning into a table. So just have your button call a UIActionSheet.

Gayan, I think your question is already answered. please check this How to create dropdown box?

And as TOm H and petert mentioned , I too believe that you need to use UIPickerView.

create a button (like dropdown button) and when you click on that button call another viewcontroller which you want to display and add it as subview to the controller.

You can use UIPickerView, but it sounds like your more likely after UIActionSheet which will show a number of buttons to choose from. If these don't meet your needs you can always roll your own custom views, but this is more work. Apple's provided UI components are a good start.

Note: there's no Interface builder way to create a UIActionSheet, you have to do it in code, but it's pretty straight foward (see RootViewController class files in this Apple sample code project).

I belive the control you might want is the UIPicker (Here's an image, its at the bottom). This is the control that pops up when you select a dropdown list in safari on iOS. You can select it in the object picker in the interface editing area. There is no dropdown list controller as such, as far as I know.
