Answering a StackOverFlow question regarding UISegmentedControl

Question: I have a segmented control with 8 segments. I can change the default tintColor of the whole control, BUT can I set a different color for each segment in the control? I found a tutorial that worked in 5.1 with a new class that calls this method, “-(void)setTintColor:(UIColor*)color forTag:(NSInteger)aTag” But it doesn’t work in iOS 6. Any ideas?

Answer:

Its a hacky fix. This will work. Place your code in ViewDidAppear. That will do the trick.

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated

{

[super viewDidAppear:animated];

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),^{

for (int i=0; i<[segmentControl.subviews count]; i++)

{

if ([[segmentControl.subviews objectAtIndex:i]isSelected] )

{

[[segmentControl.subviews objectAtIndex:i] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

break;

}

}

});

}
