Custom UIPageControl with dot images

Question

When I needed to custom my UIPageControl I used this and this solution.

Slightly modifying it for the new version of swift we have :

class myPageCont

Swift 3.0 ... you know if you are OK with accepting stated risk: "Modifying the subviews of an existing control is fragile".

You will have to call "updateDots()" in viewDidAppear() and your valueChanged handler for the page control.

 import UIKit

 class CustomImagePageControl: UIPageControl {

   let activeImage:UIImage = UIImage(named: "SelectedPage")!
   let inactiveImage:UIImage = UIImage(named: "UnselectedPage")!

   override func awakeFromNib() {
         super.awakeFromNib()

         self.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.clear
         self.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.clear
         self.clipsToBounds = false
    }

    func updateDots() {
         var i = 0
         for view in self.subviews {
             if let imageView = self.imageForSubview(view) {
                 if i == self.currentPage {
                     imageView.image = self.activeImage
                 } else {
                     imageView.image = self.inactiveImage
                 }
                 i = i + 1
             } else {
                 var dotImage = self.inactiveImage
                 if i == self.currentPage {
                     dotImage = self.activeImage
                 }
                 view.clipsToBounds = false
                 view.addSubview(UIImageView(image:dotImage))
                 i = i + 1
             }
         }
     }

     fileprivate func imageForSubview(_ view:UIView) -> UIImageView? {
         var dot:UIImageView?

         if let dotImageView = view as? UIImageView {
             dot = dotImageView
         } else {
             for foundView in view.subviews {
                 if let imageView = foundView as? UIImageView {
                     dot = imageView
                     break
                 }
             }
         }

         return dot
     }
 }
