iOS How to make custom control?

[Sergio10]

Hi,

I need to develop all custom controls in application.
I'd like to implement UISwitch control for the first time.

Could you please explain how to do it? Maybe you have some tutorials on this?

Thanks

I need to develop all custom controls in application.

What do you mean by "all"? Every single one of your controls? And what do you mean by "custom"?

I'd like to implement UISwitch control for the first time.

Maybe you have some tutorials on this?

By the way, UISwitch is not a custom control. It's a standard one.

@ dejo - awesome!! Sometimes it's hard to be civil when lots of these questions can be answered simply with RTFM - nicely done!

Sergio, are you asking how to make a set of controls that look different from the standard controls? Depends and may not be so easy. A switch is maybe the simplest of controls so a good place to start. It basically is a control that has two appearances. Tap it and it toggles between the two appearances.

Look at the Apple example code called Accessory. It shows how to have an accessory in a table view that toggles between two appearances. Unfortunately it doesn't create a UIControl subclass. That's what you should do. Start with UIControl and build a switch.
