Mobile Image Picker

From Xojo Documentation

A Picture Picker provides a way for the user to choose an existing picture from the camera roll, photo library, or they can choose to take a new picture. This control does not have any user interface that displays on the layout so it appears in the Shelf when dragged to the layout.
