MXSegmentedControl is a versatile and customizable segmented control for iOS applications. It provides an intuitive way to display options and allows users to select a segment from a list of pre-defined choices.
To get started with MXSegmentedControl, you can follow the steps outlined below:
## Installation
To install MXSegmentedControl in your iOS project, you can use CocoaPods. Simply add the following line to your Podfile:
“`ruby
pod ‘MXSegmentedControl’
“`
After saving the Podfile, run the `pod install` command in the terminal to install the MXSegmentedControl library.
## Usage
Once the installation is complete, you can start using MXSegmentedControl in your project. Follow the steps below to begin:
### Importing
Import the MXSegmentedControl module to your view controller:
“`swift
import MXSegmentedControl
“`
### Initialization
Initialize MXSegmentedControl and set the required properties. Example:
“`swift
let segmentedControl = MXSegmentedControl(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 40))
segmentedControl.append(segmentWithTitle: “Option 1”)
segmentedControl.append(segmentWithTitle: “Option 2”)
segmentedControl.append(segmentWithTitle: “Option 3”)
// Optional: Customize segment appearance
segmentedControl.segmentBackgroundColor = .gray
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentBackgroundColor = .blue
segmentedControl.segmentTextColor = .black
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentTextColor = .white
// Optional: Set initial selected segment
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0
// Add the segmented control to your view
view.addSubview(segmentedControl)
“`
Adjust the frame and appearance properties according to your design requirements.
### Delegate
Conform to the `MXSegmentedControlDelegate` protocol in your view controller to respond to segment selection:
“`swift
class MyViewController: UIViewController, MXSegmentedControlDelegate {
// …
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// … Other setup
segmentedControl.delegate = self
}
func segmentedControl(_ segmentedControl: MXSegmentedControl, didSelectSegmentAtIndex index: Int) {
// Handle segment selection logic here
// …
}
// …
}
“`
MXSegmentedControl also provides additional features and customization options:
## Styling
The appearance of the segmented control can be customized using the following properties:
– `segmentBackgroundColor`: Set the background color of each segment.
– `selectedSegmentBackgroundColor`: Set the background color of the selected segment.
– `segmentTextColor`: Set the text color of each segment.
– `selectedSegmentTextColor`: Set the text color of the selected segment.
– `segmentFont`: Set the font for the segment titles.
## Selecting a Segment Programmatically
To programmatically select a segment, use the `selectedSegmentIndex` property of the MXSegmentedControl instance. Example:
“`swift
// Select segment at index 2
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 2
“`
With MXSegmentedControl, you can easily implement a customizable segmented control in your iOS app. Follow the steps mentioned above to integrate and customize the control as per your requirements.
