Starts like this, which I like:
But then I add a segment and this happens:
The width is set in IB, not in code.
All I need is a method to calculate width on the fly. At the end, it would do something like this:
control.width = (labelWidths + marginWidths);
// where marginWidths = (marginWidth * control.numberOfSegments)
The first option looks like this:
segmentedControl.setWidth(100, forSegmentAt: 0)
segmentedControl.setWidth(50, forSegmentAt: 1)
That gives you individually sized segments while sticking to a value you define, which means you get to tweak the aesthetics as you want. The second option looks like this:
segmentedControl.apportionsSegmentWidthsByContent = true
That hands full control over to iOS, which is probably the best thing to do most of the time.
Available from iOS 5.0
It will adjust the size of the segmented control to accommodate the text in the text labels of each segment.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
UILabel.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UISegmentedControl.self]).numberOfLines = 0
}
