How to add swipe gesture to segmented control?

Question

I have an ImageView added to UIView. Tapping on the image take to Segmented Control which is also part of same UIView. I am trying to add swipe gestures to this segmented control.

Tried following.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let rightSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: SegmentCotroller, action: Selector("swiped:"))
    rightSwipe.direction = .Right
    self.SegmentCotroller.addGestureRecognizer(rightSwipe)
}

func swiped(sender:UIGestureRecognizer){
    print("Swiped.....!")
}

Code never reaches to swiped method when swiping right.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

You need to se the swipe gestures target to self

let rightSwipe = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("swiped:"))
rightSwipe.direction = .Right
self.segmentController.addGestureRecognizer(rightSwipe)

The target sets where the action will be executed so you want it pointing at wherever you have the action implemented.
