Change UIPickerView background

Question

I want to change the border color of a UIPickerView. I do not see a tint property for the UIPickerView. Is there any way this could be done? Or a workaround?

Thanks.

Answer 1

My UIPickerView has 3 components. And no Selection Indicator.

This gives it 11 subviews. [[picker subviews] count]

Hiding the first and the last subview totally removes the background.

[(UIView*)[[picker subviews] objectAtIndex:0] setHidden:YES];
[(UIView*)[[picker subviews] objectAtIndex:10] setHidden:YES];

Hiding every third other subview (indexes 1, 4 and 7) hides the opaque background on the components. Giving quite a nice effect that I can skin as I desire.

Hope that helps someone :)
