Segmented Control inside of Scroll View

Question

I'm trying to create a really long segmented controller to let users choose between many options. How can I go about getting it inside of a Scroll View?

I've tried dragging and dropping it but it doesn't let me scroll it.

Try adding a segmented control in a scroll view by this code :

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    journals = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];

    self.tableView.dataSource = self;
    self.tableView.delegate = self;

    UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 49, 320, 29)];
    self.segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 640, 29);

    scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(self.segmentedControl.frame.size.width, self.segmentedControl.frame.size.height -1);
    scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;

    self.segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0;

    [scrollView addSubview:self.segmentedControl];
    [self.view addSubview:scrollView];

    [self fillJournals];

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

You have to set the content size of the UIScrollView, otherwise it won't scroll.

myScrollView.contentSize = mySegmentedControl.frame.size;
