Question

I have a UISegmentedControl

UIBarButtonItem *flex = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil]autorelease];
    bottomSegmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:nil];
    [bottomSegmentedControl insertSegmentWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"messages.png"] atIndex:0 animated:YES];
    [bottomSegmentedControl insertSegmentWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"news.png"] atIndex:1 animated:YES];
    [bottomSegmentedControl insertSegmentWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"chart.png"] atIndex:2 animated:YES];
    //bottomSegmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Messages",@"News",@"Chart", nil]];
    //bottomSegmentedControl.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    [bottomSegmentedControl addTarget:self action:@selector(segmentedControlChanged:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
    bottomSegmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
    bottomSegmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,300,30);
    bottomSegmentedControl.momentary = NO;
    [bottomSegmentedControl setSelectedSegmentIndex:0];
    UIBarButtonItem *segButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:bottomSegmentedControl];

When I step through the program [bottomSegmentedControl setSelectedSegmentIndex:0]; does not trigger a UIControlEventValueChanged event which is where I do some stuff in segmentedControlChanged:

This used to work in iOS 4.3 but not in iOS5. How can I resolve this?

This seems to be a known issue. It’s not clear whether Apple considers the new behavior to be a feature or a bug.
