Remove UISegmentedControl separators completely. (iphone)

Question

Is there a way to completely remove the line separating the two segments in a UISegmentedControl?

Setting the segmentedControlStyle is not helping.

Answer 1

I combined the previous answers into a Swift extension.

I wanted to remove all borders and dividers. This code just uses the normal segment colors, e.g. tint and background for selected / deselected.

Call

segmentedControl.removeBorders()

Here's the extension

extension UISegmentedControl {
    func removeBorders() {
        setBackgroundImage(imageWithColor(backgroundColor!), forState: .Normal, barMetrics: .Default)
        setBackgroundImage(imageWithColor(tintColor!), forState: .Selected, barMetrics: .Default)
        setDividerImage(imageWithColor(UIColor.clearColor()), forLeftSegmentState: .Normal, rightSegmentState: .Normal, barMetrics: .Default)
    }

    // create a 1x1 image with this color
    private func imageWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
        let rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0)
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, color.CGColor);
        CGContextFillRect(context, rect);
        let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
        return image
    }
}
