Question

I have a UISegmentedControl that has 6 segments which I created in Interface Builder. I am calling the following method on value changed:

-(IBAction)segmentedChartButtonChanged:(id)sender
{
    switch (self.segmentedChartButton.selectedSegmentIndex) {
        case 0:
            NSLog(@"5d selected. Index: %d", self.segmentedChartButton.selectedSegmentIndex);
            break;
        case 1:
            NSLog(@"3m selected. Index: %d", self.segmentedChartButton.selectedSegmentIndex);
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

Whenever I change the segments, the selectedSegmentIndex is always 0. Why is this?

It is very likely that the IBOutlet isn’t connected. Check that. You can also use the sender that is passed to the method.

UISegmentedControl * segmentedControl = (UISegmentedControl *)sender;
switch (segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex) {
    ....
