Can UIScrollView's deceleration rate be modified?

Question

Since this question was originally asked, UIScrollView deceleration rate customization has been added via the decelerationRate property introduced in OS 3.0.

Answer 1

I found that by using KVC to modify the instance variable _decelerationFactor allowed me to change the rate to something other than UIScrollViewDecelerationRateNormal or UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast. I subclassed UIScrollView and wrapped the whole lot in a try block

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
        @try {
            CGFloat decelerationRate = UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast +(UIScrollViewDecelerationRateNormal - UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast) * .52;
            [self setValue:[NSValue valueWithCGSize:CGSizeMake(decelerationRate,decelerationRate)] forKey:@"_decelerationFactor"];

        }
        @catch (NSException *exception) {
            // if they modify the way it works under us.
        }


    }
    return self;
}
