iOS need help in controls

[macobss89]

hi,
I'm still new to the whole objective c programming, i need help.
i have attached a screenshot from an app i saw the other day.
I was wondering how can i make a tabbed view like the one in the picture?
I thought maybe using the segmented control??
also, i was wondering if there are any custom controls/plugins to use when developing an app?
thank you

I've never done anything like that before, but I'd probably try making a UISegmentedControl and just setting each button cell to have a custom image that looks like a tab.

If that didn't work I'd just make a UIButton with a custom background image.

thanks i'll try that.

This is probably more along the lines of how they implemented it. It's different enough from a UISegmentedControl that trying to shoehorn it into that would be more difficult than necessary.

Really? I thought it would fit a UISegmentedControl better than a bunch of UIButtons. UISegmentedControl automatically deselects segments when you select a different one, UIButtons don't.

Yes, but the appearance and visual behavior in general is significantly different.

Yes I agree, I tried the UISegmentedControl, it wasn't as good as the UIButton with a custom background.
