Question

I’m setting UISegmentControl programmatically in my iPhone app. By default it has 2 segment. In my code I’m populating more than two segments. How do I set this, any help?

Update

My question is how do I put more than 2 tabs on segmentController by code?

Answer 1

First of all segmented control in iOS is of UISegmentedControl class, not NS…

To create it with any number of segments you want you can use initWithItems: initialize method – pass array of titles (NSStrings) or images for each segments. e.g.:

UISegmentedControl *segControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"1", @"2", @"3", @"4", nil]];

Later you can change you control using insertSegmentWithImage:atIndex:animated:, insertSegmentWithTitle:atIndex:animated: or/and removeSegmentAtIndex:animated: methods.

You can find descriptions on those (and some more!) methods in apple docs.
