iOS: change the height of UISegmentedcontrol

Question

I am trying to change the height of UISegmentedcontrol, but it is not allowed in the Interface Builder. Is there any way to change or it is impossible?

Thanks

Answer 1

Adding a constraint in IB will also do the trick:

Answer 2

Yes, you can use [mySegmentedControl setFrame:frame] in code. It is unfortunate that you can't do this in IB.

So, if you just want to change the height:

CGRect frame= mySegmentedControl.frame;
[mySegmentedControl setFrame:CGRectMake(frame.origin.x, frame.origin.y, frame.size.width, fNewHeight)];

Answer 3

Add a new height constraint and set its value.

Answer 4

If you are using Auto Layout and are having trouble with Luke's answer, this worked perfectly for me:

NSLayoutConstraint *constraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:mySegmentedControl
                                     attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight 
                                     relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
                                     toItem:nil
                                     attribute:NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute
                                     multiplier:1 
                                     constant:fNewHeight];
[mySegmentedControl addConstraint:constraint];
