I need a UIDatePicker for selecting Month and Year only. I checked the class reference documents. Looks like UIDatePicker is a UIView.

I have a lazy workaround-- I made a 10x10 black png. I then used that as a mask with a scaletofill imageview sized to cover the dates column perfectly. I put the alpha at 0.75 to barely show that column. It is clear to the user and looks decent.
