Scrollable Segmented Control for when UISegmentedControl is not sufficient
ScrollableSegmentedControl
ScrollableSegmentedControl is replacement for UISegmentedControl that becomes scrollable when the total width of all segments exceeds the width of the control itself.
ScrollableSegmentedControl supports 4 styles of segments: text only, image only, text with image on top and text with image on left.
| Text Only | Image Only |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
| Image On Top | Image On Left |
|---|---|
![]() |

Support
- Xcode 10.2+
- Swift 5.0+
- 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
// Turn off all segments been fixed/equal width.
// The width of each segment would be based on the text length and font size.
segmentedControl.fixedSegmentWidth = false
}
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.
