Hello, You can not find this component because it does not exist. I do not know why the confusion in the documentation is made. See the [link](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/release-notes) to deal with this. ---

Akmal, If you really need this picker component, then try to simulate it. I made a small example [here](https://ios.thunkable.com/copy/7d2aa716eec8db9183ff6964cd0a1387) for experiments with the floating action button with sub menu. I think the ideas from it can be used for picker, and for dialogues. On the Advances tab of the properties panel, for some components, you can set Position = absolute, on which everything is built. ---

Thanks for the sample, i already try it, but i not understand what actually the output after we insert the value in textfield, one question for u… its we can get the listviewer value? or its only for display? Thanks ---

Try my new [example](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/b0d0b1fa10c0b4db48fb8cbc5069d6c0). It allows you to display list picker. ---

A small improvement. In the Column1.Height block, instead of 30%, specify Fit contents. Then the height of the dialog will automatically change by the number of entries in the list. ---

Thank you very much! Thanks to the solution of this problem, I found a lot of new things for myself, including creating a dialogue with the shadow. ---

Can apply the shadow to the floating component… make it more real… ---

Yes. The shadow is not applied to the Column dialog container, but to the frame inside it, which is made from an empty Label with absolute positioning and relative sizes of 100%. Here’s a screenshot of how I did it. ![picker](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/8/f8bb58f15792233e3436b42ad25b0c0602cc909a.png) ---

I found another interesting opportunity. If Picker is positioned above the full-screen button, you will be able to cancel the dialog when clicking this button. ---

New versions of the dialogs you can see in this project. [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5cd84f23e3097f3353fdad45/project/properties/designer/](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5cd84f23e3097f3353fdad45/project/properties/designer/) ---
