I have implemented UISegmentedControl with Direction theme using BASequenceControl from cocoacontrols.com.
I have added BASequenceControl.h and BASequenceControl.m classes and required images from GitHub
Great. Its working fine for me..However I have a concern with the last segment section tip.
Its displaying the junk space of last segment section.
Original Screen Shot
I need like this
The code I have Implemented
#import "BASequenceControl.h"
BASequenceControl *bASequenceControl = [[BASequenceControl alloc] init];
bASequenceControl.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 44);
[bASequenceControl addSegmentWithTitle:@"First" animated:NO];
[bASequenceControl addSegmentWithTitle:@"Second" animated:NO];
bASequenceControl.leftMargin = -22;
bASequenceControl.rightMargin = 0;
bASequenceControl.overlapWidth = 22;
[self.view addSubview:bASequenceControl];
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks.
This is a pretty simple fix. You will have to edit the BASequenceControl.m file or you can duplicate the class and rename it.
The line that is causing the problem is in drawRect:
it basically draws the grey arrow across the entire background of the control. Creating that nice gradient in the empty space.
[passiveSegmentImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(-passiveSegmentImage.size.width, 0,
w + 2 * passiveSegmentImage.size.width, h)];
You can change it to:
[passiveSegmentImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0,
w, h)];
Now you have to tell the control that it should not be opaque. Update the initializers like this.
- (void)awakeFromNib {
_selectedSegmentIndex = -1;
[self setOpaque:NO];
[super awakeFromNib];
}
- (id)init {
if ((self = [super init])) {
[self setOpaque:NO];
_selectedSegmentIndex = -1;
}
return self;
}
This is pretty quick and dirty, you could potentially make this settable with a property. Then submit a pull request to BaseAppKit, but I'll leave that to you. Here is a gist that you can copy and paste directly in BASequenceControl.m to fix the overhang.

Edit: Make sure that you are using init
as the initializer and then setFrame:
(I'm not really sure why initWithFrame:
wasn't overridden in the class.)
BASequenceControl *control = [[BASequenceControl alloc] init];
[control setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 40)];
Green background for dramatic effect
How about to use a mask like this :
