Access the UIPageControl created by iOS6 UIPageViewController?

Question

I\'m using a UIPageViewController with Navigation set to Horizontal, Transition Style set to Scroll (in InterfaceBuilder), and no spine. Which gives me a lovely

Answer 1

I would say, hunt through the subviews. This code successfully finds the UIPageControl in the subviews hierarchy:

NSArray *subviews = pageController.view.subviews;
UIPageControl *thisControl = nil;
for (int i=0; i<[subviews count]; i++) {
    if ([[subviews objectAtIndex:i] isKindOfClass:[UIPageControl class]]) {
        thisControl = (UIPageControl *)[subviews objectAtIndex:i];
    }
}

I'm using this to customize the color of the dots, I imagine you could do the same with the alpha value or send it to the back or something.

Apple provides no direct interface to the UIPageControl through the UIPageViewController class, but there are no illegal method calls required in order to get to it... I don't see why this would result in an app rejection.
