# UISegmentedControl
A UISegmentedControl object is a horizontal control made of multiple segments, each segment functioning as a discrete button. A segmented control affords a compact means to group together a number of controls.
# Creating UISegmentedControl via code
- Create new instance of UISegmentedControl filled with 3 items (segments):
let mySegmentedControl = UISegmentedControl (items: ["One", "Two", "Three"])
- Setup frame;
mySegmentedControl.frame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: 300, height: 50)
- Make default selection (not that segments are indexed by 0):
mySegmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0
- Configure target:
mySegmentedControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(segmentedValueChanged(_:)), for: .valueChanged)
5 Handle value changed:
func segmentedValueChanged(_ sender:UISegmentedControl!) {
print("Selected Segment Index is : \(sender.selectedSegmentIndex)")
}
- Add UISegmentedControl to views hierarchy
yourView.addSubview(mySegmentedControl)
