Its on its way.

Thanks so much for taking a look for me. It really is an error that I cant understand with my limited knowledge.

Hi Bernd,

Replied to your email this morning (my time here in Australia)
unfortunately the error is still occuring randomly..

Thanks for your help

Hi Again,

I would like to commend and thank Bernd for his assistance in helping me resolve this issue.
It was nice to see that it wasn't a problem with my STACK but rather a potential Bug.


Thanks so much, it really helped me out a lot..

Thanks Nakia,

for the sake of completeness here is what happened.

Nakia used a option menu button to pop up a list to choose from in iOS on an iPad. It turns out that at irregular intervals, apparently random, in the popUp stray characters where appended (see screenshot in the original post). It could be one or more of those stray characters. At first I thought it was a unicode problem but setting the unicodetext of the button did not solve it.
It appears that right now the option menu on the iPad is not working correctly.

The solution is to use iphonPick instead of the option menu.

That works correctly and is conforming to the user interface of the iPad: i.e. if you click outside of the popUp the popUp disappears = cancel. And the option menu has the first line hilited by default, iphonePick has no hilited line.

Kind regards
Bernd

Soo... how do you display unicodeText in a iPhonePick control? Does that actually work??
