Purpose

CustomPageControl is a drop-in replacement for Apple's UIPageControl that replicates all the functionality of the standard control, but adds the ability to edit the dot colour, size and spacing.

Installation

Just drag the CustomPageControl.m and .h files into your project. In Interface Builder add a new view to your window. Set the size to approximately 320 x 36 pixels and set the class to CustomPageControl (you can also create the control programmatically in using [[alloc] initWithRect:CGRectMake(0,0,320,36)]).

You can now wire up the CustomPageControl in exactly the same way as a standard UIPageControl, as described in Apple's documentation.

To change the dot colour, size and spacing, use the following properties of the control:

UIColor dotColour; UIColor selectedDotColour; CGFloat dotSpacing; CGFloat dotSize;

These properties must be set programmatically in your view controller, as Interface Builder does not expose a way to edit custom fields. Alternatively, you could create a subclass of PageControl that overrides the default values for these fields, set in the - (void)setup; method.

Unlike the standard UIPageControl, you can also make the CustomPageControl wrap around by setting the following property to YES:

BOOL wrap;
