CHYSlider

CHYSlider is a drop-in iOS control that functions the same way UISlider does yet provides great look and feel. If you feel the official UISlider is a bit dull and are looking for something that can add a flavor to your iPhone/iPad apps, CHYSlider is what you want!

What the demo on Youtube: http://youtu.be/1NHyL-Mcn0E

Requirements

• iOS 5.0 and above
• Xcode 4.2 and above (CHYSlider uses ARC. non-ARC support is planned in future version)
• Frameworks: Foundation, UIKit, CoreGraphics

Adding CHYSlider to your project

The simplest way to add the CHYSlider to your project is to directly add the CHYSlider folder to your project.

1. Download the latest code version from the repository (you can simply use the Download Source button and get the zip or tar archive of the master branch).
2. Extract the archive.
3. Open your project in Xcode, than drag and drop CHYSlider folder to your classes group (in the Groups & Files view).
4. Make sure to select Copy items when asked.

If you have a git tracked project, you can add CHYSlider as a submodule to your project.

1. Move inside your git tracked project.
2. Add CHYSlider as a submodule using git submodule add git://github.com/chenyuan/CHYSlider.git CHYSlider .
3. Open your project in Xcode, than drag and drop CHYSlider folder to your classes group (in the Groups & Files view).
4. Don't select Copy items and select a suitable Reference type (relative to project should work fine most of the time).

You can also add CHYSlider as a static library to your workspace. See this article for details.

Usage

• For use with xib files, drop in a 'UIView' control and make it a CHYSlider class in the xib. You may want to add an IBAction method to observe the UIControlEventValueChanged event which is triggered when user moves the slider knob.
• Or you can instantialize a CHYSlider object the same way you work with UIControl.

UISlider-like Properties

• float value - default 0.0. this value will be pinned to min/max.
• float minimumValue - default 0.0. the current value may change if outside new min value.
• float maximumValue - default 1.0. the current value may change if outside new max value.
• BOOL continuous - default YES. if set, value change events are generated any time the value changes due to dragging.

Customizable Properties

• UILabel labelOnThumb - overlayed above the thumb knob, moves along with the thumb. You may customize its font, textColor and other properties.
• UILabel labelAboveThumb - displayed on top fo the thumb, moves along with the thumb. You may customize its font, textColor and other properties.
• int decimalPlaces - determin how many decimal places are displayed in the value labels.
• BOOL stepped - default NO. if set, the slider is segmented by 6 values, and thumb only stays on these values. (Note: the stepped slider is not fully implemented, I'm considering adding a NSArray steppedValues property in next release)
