Change font size of UISegmentedControl

Question

Can anyone please tell me how can I change the font type and size of UISegmentedControl?

Answer 1

C# / Xamarin:

segment.SetTitleTextAttributes(new UITextAttributes { 
    Font = UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(font_size) }, UIControlState.Normal);

Answer 2

Swift Style:

UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes(NSDictionary(objects: [UIFont.systemFontOfSize(14.0)], forKeys: [NSFontAttributeName]), forState: UIControlState.Normal)

Answer 3

Extension for UISegmentedControl for setting Font Size.

extension UISegmentedControl {
    @available(iOS 8.2, *)
    func setFontSize(fontSize: CGFloat) {
            let normalTextAttributes: [NSObject : AnyObject]!
            if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
                normalTextAttributes = [
                    NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.monospacedDigitSystemFontOfSize(fontSize, weight: UIFontWeightRegular)
                ]
            } else {
                normalTextAttributes = [
                    NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(fontSize, weight: UIFontWeightRegular)
                ]
            }

        self.setTitleTextAttributes(normalTextAttributes, forState: .Normal)
    }
 }

You can get at the actual font for the UILabel by recursively examining each of the views starting with the UISegmentedControl. I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it works.

@interface tmpSegmentedControlTextViewController : UIViewController {
}

@property (nonatomic, assign) IBOutlet UISegmentedControl * theControl;

@end

@implementation tmpSegmentedControlTextViewController

@synthesize theControl; // UISegmentedControl

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [self printControl:[self theControl]];
  [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void) printControl:(UIView *) view {
  NSArray * views = [view subviews];
  NSInteger idx,idxMax;
  for (idx = 0, idxMax = views.count; idx < idxMax; idx++) {
    UIView * thisView = [views objectAtIndex:idx];
    UILabel * tmpLabel = (UILabel *) thisView;
    if ([tmpLabel respondsToSelector:@selector(text)]) {
      NSLog(@"TEXT for view %d: %@",idx,tmpLabel.text);
      [tmpLabel setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    }

    if (thisView.subviews.count) {
      NSLog(@"View has subviews");
      [self printControl:thisView];
    }
  }
}

@end

In the code above I am just setting the text color of the UILabel, but you could grab or set the font property as well I suppose.
