UISlider does not redraw automatically

Question

I\'ve an UISlider on my app and I need sometimes to update not only its value but also its minimumValue. The values are changed but if I call the setValue method or assign a new

Answer 1

I've solved that by removing and adding again the slider to the toolbar. I've used this code:

NSMutableArray *items = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:self.toolbar.items];
id slider = [items lastObject]; 
[items removeLastObject];
self.toolbar.items = items;    
[items addObject:slider];
self.toolbar.items = items;

I've recovered my slider using an id instead an UISlider because that slider is inside a UIBarButtonItem

Answer 2

As UISlider inherits from UIView can you not just call [yourSlider setNeedsDisplay]; after you've updated the values.

This will force the UISlider instance to completely redraw itself and may therefore take into account the new values you've set.

EDIT:

There seems to be some common issues when embedding a UISlider in a UIBarButtonItem - please see this Stack Overflow question for more information.
