Segmentcontrol Color on load?

Hi PPL :)

I am having some trouble with my segmentcontrol bar. I am trying to make it a gray/black color with this:

segmentControl3.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.60 green:0.60 blue:0.60 alpha:1.0];

Under my getSegment action, and that works just fine when I click it. But my problem is that the load color is the standart blue one, and I can't seem to change that anywhere... I have tried to place it under viewDidLoad, but that diden't seen to work. I have read trough the UICatalog example, but in there all is declared in code. Is that the only way to get it right?

Thanks

+1 A:

You should be able to use tintColor to change the color of your control; try placing it in viewWillAppear:. Also make sure that your outlet is properly set. I use this in several applications.

You can use [UIColor colorWithWhite: 0.6 alpha: 1.0] to save a little code

I have tried both the viewDidLoad method and viewWillAppear but it doesn't change colour until i click one of the segments for some reason :S Any other ideas?

Is it possible to run a IBAction on load?

I would try pulling this code out and sticking it in its own test project; given that this should work as you've described, it's likely that there's something else at play here, and isolating this shoudl help track it down.

Thanks.. I'll try that later today to see if I can get it up and running... But if you have some code examples from your viewWillApper method, where you use the function I would be happy to see it.. thanks again :)

Hmm.. still not working for me.. My code looks like this in the IBAction method:

CC 2009-03-09 22:26:23

- (IBAction)getSegment:(id)sender{UISegmentedControl *segmentControl = (UISegmentedControl *)sender; NSInteger segment =segmentControl.selectedSegmentIndex; segmentControl.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.60 green:0.60 blue:0.60 alpha:1.0];But can't seem to implement this anywhere else :S

Is it bacause the object segmentcontrol is first defined when valueChanged? How do I implement this while still using Interface Builder?

This really frustrates me.. Any help will be greatly appreciated.. When I refer to the object segmentControl3.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.60 green:0.60 blue:0.60 alpha:1.0]; it says that the object is undeclared..

I made the mistake that I referred to the Segmented Control by pointer type and not by an outlet.. Everything is working fine now :) Thanks for all your help, just didn't understand it until now :D
