iOS Custom UISegmentedControl

[idelovski]

What is the point of image property in UISegmentedControl if standard look is drawn underneath my images so resulting control looks like a total mess?

Is there any other way to do a custom drawn segmented control? Googling wasn't much help.

You could use UIButtons instead to get a custom look. For each "segment" you want, stack two buttons (one for highlighted and one not pressed) Then hide the buttons not selected.

- (IBAction)press1{
    //your action
    button1.hidden=YES;
    button1highlight.hidden=NO;
    button2.hidden=NO;
    button2highlight.hidden=YES;
}
- (IBAction)press1highlight{
    button1.hidden=NO;
    button1highlight.hidden=YES;
    button2.hidden=NO;
    button2highlight.hidden=YES;
}
- (IBAction)press2 {
    button1.hidden=NO;
    button1highlight.hidden=YES;
    button2.hidden=YES;
    button2highlight.hidden=NO;
}
- (IBAction)press2highlight{
    button1.hidden=NO;
    button1highlight.hidden=YES;
    button2.hidden=NO;
    button2highlight.hidden=YES;
}


-(void)viewDidLoad{
    button1.hidden=NO;
    button1highlight.hidden=YES;
    button2.hidden=NO;
    button2highlight.hidden=YES;
}

Thanks,

I'll probably end up with something like that.
