Question

Ive added a segmented control to the header of a uitableview. this works fine. but for some reason i cannot make the segmented buttons (or at least just the first button) have a red background color. it just loads with the default silver.

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    UIView* NEWview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
    NEWview.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:78.0/255.0f green:88.0/255.0f blue:74.0/255.0f alpha:1.0]; 
    NSArray *itemArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Organisations", @"Events", nil];
    UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:itemArray];
    segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(15, 5, 290, 30);
    segmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStylePlain;
    segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 1;
    UIColor *newSelectedTintColor = [UIColor redColor];
    [[[segmentedControl subviews] objectAtIndex:0] setTintColor:newSelectedTintColor];
    [NEWview addSubview:segmentedControl];
    return NEWview;
}

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance for any help..

Tint color for segmentedcontrol works only if segmented control is of bar style.

segmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
segmentedControl.tintColor=[UIColor redColor];
