PickerView

Use a PickerView widget to enable a user to select a single combination of values from multiple sets of values. A user rotates through each set of values with a selection indicator. For example, a user can select a single date from lists of months, days of the month, and years.

To learn how to use this widget programmatically, refer VoltMX Iris Widget guide.

Note: The PickerView widget is not available on SPA platforms.
