Answer 1

((UISegmentedControl *)sender).selectedSegmentIndex;
:-)

Answer 2

I use the following code in a view controller.m to say launch a modal controller and it seems to work good for me.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
NSArray *segmentContent = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
NSLocalizedString(#"view 1", #""),
NSLocalizedString(#"view 2", #""),
NSLocalizedString(#"Close", #""),
nil];
//or images insted of text
//NSArray *segmentContent = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
// [UIImage imageNamed:#"pic.png"],
// [UIImage imageNamed:#"spic.png"],
// [UIImage imageNamed:#"close.png"],
// nil]];
UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:segmentContent];
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = UISegmentedControlNoSegment;
segmentedControl.momentary = YES; // option
segmentedControl.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
segmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 160, 30);
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segmentAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
UIBarButtonItem *segments = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:segmentedControl];
[segmentedControl release];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = segments;
self.navigationItem.title = #"My title";
[segments release];
Then add the actions on selection, last one is a close statement if you launched a modal controller.
- (IBAction)segmentAction:(id)sender
{
UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = (UISegmentedControl *)sender;
switch ([sender selectedSegmentIndex])
{
case 0:
{
// Do stuff like launch a modal controller. But don't forget to add this all into your modal controller views to get back out :)
InfoViewController *infoViewController = [[InfoViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InfoViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *aInfoViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:infoViewController];
[self presentModalViewController:aInfoViewController animated:YES];
break;
}
case 1:
{
// do stuff
break;
}
case 2:
{
[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
break;
}
}
NSLog(#"Segment clicked: %d", segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex);
}
Use the method below if needed to close the modal via this way.
- (IBAction)dismissAction:(id)sender
{
[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
and don't forget to declare the action/method in the same respective h file.
- (IBAction)dismissAction:(id)sender;
Hope this helps.
