Hello,

I need an option in order to choose from about 200 values. The current Slider-style is not exact enough. Is there a kind of “year” or “date” picker like they are often used in apps.

Here you find an image that shows what I mean.

Thank you!

How about a search bar? 200 options is a lot. A list viewer would be helpful, I think.

You might looks a the List viewer control. You will need to create the list of values (January 2021, February 2021, etc.).

And there is a date input control, but it has a different look
