IPhone - adding UISegmentedControl to the control panel of the navigation controller

Question

Is this heresy to add a UISegmentedControl to the Controller's control panel?

I am reviewing this code:

UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: [NSString stringWithString:NSLocalizedString(@"One", @"")], [NSString stringWithString:NSLocalizedString(@"Two", @"")], [NSString stringWithString:NSLocalizedString(@"Three", @"")], [NSString stringWithString:NSLocalizedString(@"Four", @"")], nil]]; segmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar; segmentedControl.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor]; [segmentedControl setSelectedSegmentIndex:0]; [segmentedControl addTarget:self action:@selector(changeSegment:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged]; [segmentedControl setFrame:[self.navigationController.toolbar bounds]]; [self.navigationController.toolbar addSubview:segmentedControl]; [segmentedControl release]; 

I tried this code and segments are not showing if I touch them.

Is this the right way to do this?

thanks.

This is most likely due to the fact that your tintColor is black. Change the color and you will see that the selected segment is reflected.
