Change font size of UISegmentedControl

Question

Can anyone please tell me how can I change the font type and size of UISegmentedControl?

Answer 1

You can get at the actual font for the UILabel by recursively examining each of the views starting with the UISegmentedControl. I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it works.

@interface tmpSegmentedControlTextViewController : UIViewController {
}

@property (nonatomic, assign) IBOutlet UISegmentedControl * theControl;

@end

@implementation tmpSegmentedControlTextViewController

@synthesize theControl; // UISegmentedControl

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [self printControl:[self theControl]];
  [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void) printControl:(UIView *) view {
  NSArray * views = [view subviews];
  NSInteger idx,idxMax;
  for (idx = 0, idxMax = views.count; idx < idxMax; idx++) {
    UIView * thisView = [views objectAtIndex:idx];
    UILabel * tmpLabel = (UILabel *) thisView;
    if ([tmpLabel respondsToSelector:@selector(text)]) {
      NSLog(@"TEXT for view %d: %@",idx,tmpLabel.text);
      [tmpLabel setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    }

    if (thisView.subviews.count) {
      NSLog(@"View has subviews");
      [self printControl:thisView];
    }
  }
}

@end

In the code above I am just setting the text color of the UILabel, but you could grab or set the font property as well I suppose.
