spinner with 2 colums

[EddyW]

i get from a webservice a string like name1:Value1;name2:Value2;

is it posible to show in the spinner the values (value1, value 2 ) but when you select a value i get the name as return value.

In vb6 i would do it with a combobox with 2 colums and hide column1 (with the names) and show in column2 the values.

EddieW ..

Can't find anything on the Spinner Control but for your info you can do exactly that with ListView.
I mimic VB Combobox with a label and adjoining ImageView containing a DownArrow.
Clicking Arrow shows / hides ListView.

'using .AddTwoLines2 allows me to specify return value for click events...
lvwCombo.AddSingleLine2(Value1 & Value2, ReturnValue)
      
lvwCombo.AddTwoLines2(Value1 , Value2, ReturnValue)

Thanks Mangojack,

They want to use a spinner but the idea with a map could work.
Pitty that the spinner dont support multicolums.

Code below should work as long as your values do not contain commas. A better approach is to fill a list with your data and point to the chosen one, using the Position of spinner.

Sub Globals
    Dim sp As Spinner 
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    sp.Initialize ("sp")
    sp.AddAll (Array As String ("name10,name11","name20,name22"))
    Activity.AddView (sp,0,0,60%x,15%y)
End Sub

Sub sp_ItemClick (Position As Int, Value As Object)
Dim rt() As String 
rt=Regex.Split (",",Value)
Msgbox(rt(0),"")
End Sub

Thanks for the sugestion but dont think it would work for my situation because
i dont want to see the names only the values.

the sting i get from the webservices is name1:Value1;name2:Value2 and i cant change the webservices.

I solved it with a map object filling the spinner with the values and after spinner_selectedItem lookup in the map the Name.
