  • iOS 9.0+

Usage

ScrollableSegmentedControl is designed to be used exactly same as UISegmentedControl. methods and properties are deliberately named same or very similar to ones found in UISegmentedControl.

@IBOutlet weak var segmentedControl: ScrollableSegmentedControl!
    
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    segmentedControl.segmentStyle = .textOnly
    segmentedControl.insertSegment(withTitle: "Segment 1", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "segment-1"), at: 0)
    segmentedControl.insertSegment(withTitle: "Segment 2", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "segment-2"), at: 1)
    segmentedControl.insertSegment(withTitle: "Segment 3", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "segment-3"), at: 2)
    segmentedControl.insertSegment(withTitle: "Segment 4", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "segment-4"), at: 3)
    segmentedControl.insertSegment(withTitle: "Segment 5", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "segment-5"), at: 4)
    segmentedControl.insertSegment(withTitle: "Segment 6", image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "segment-6"), at: 5)
        
    segmentedControl.underlineSelected = true
        
    segmentedControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(TableViewController.segmentSelected(sender:)), for: .valueChanged)

    // change some colors 
    segmentedControl.segmentContentColor = UIColor.white
    segmentedControl.selectedSegmentContentColor = UIColor.yellow
    segmentedControl.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
}
    
func segmentSelected(sender:ScrollableSegmentedControl) {
    print("Segment at index \(sender.selectedSegmentIndex)  selected")
}

Using appearance proxy to change some colors

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    let segmentedControlAppearance = ScrollableSegmentedControl.appearance()
    segmentedControlAppearance.segmentContentColor = UIColor.white
    segmentedControlAppearance.selectedSegmentContentColor = UIColor.yellow
    segmentedControlAppearance.backgroundColor = UIColor.black

    return true
}

Configuring custom title attributes via setTitleTextAttributes method

let largerRedTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16), NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.red]
let largerRedTextHighlightAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16), NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.blue]
let largerRedTextSelectAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16), NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.orange]

segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes(largerRedTextAttributes, for: .normal)
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes(largerRedTextHighlightAttributes, for: .highlighted)
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes(largerRedTextSelectAttributes, for: .selected)

See the Demo project for example on how to use it.
