Hi there,
This is great, and I’m about to use it in a app…but I found a little problem when testing on iPhone 4(retina display) I have my image image1.png and image1@2x.png (double the size of the first one) for the high resolution display….well…the segmentedcontrol goes crazy and the image looks HUGE.

Can you help me figure this one o ut?

Hi, I have a problem with your class:
Runtime changes of the selected index: ‘selectedSegmentIndex’ don’t refresh the view, any idea of the possible causes ?

NB: commenting [subView removeFromSuperview]; permits to change the value, but then the custom colors aren’t displayed..

Thankyou so much, using your subclass was as simple as changing my segmented control’s identity and adding a few imports!!!!

@pomelo the non-selected item’s gray background is not customizable, but you can easily change it modifying the gradient’s components at line 179 and 180, in the drawRect: method

Hi Matteo,

Thanks for this fantastic MCSegmentedControl.

I find how to set the selected item’s tintColor, but how to set also the non-selected items’ tint?

@ zhouhesheng it’s the only way to be sure that nothing else is drawn

@Alex, you should be able to modify the text size by setting the font property, and the colors by setting the selectedItemColor and unselectedItemColor

Good work.

I just found a line in drawRect: and i wonder whether it works?

for (UIView *subView in self.subviews) {
[subView removeFromSuperview];
}
