Overview
The Segmented Control offers a button alignment capability along with specific highlights that emulates the iOS version of a segmented button. The control presented itself as a single image with multiple options, where only one can be selected.
It allows you to set whether buttons can be turned on/off, or only one selected at a time, as well as setting the default select and the colour the button is highlighted with when clicked..
Like the Stepper Control, you can also specify a Separator image attached to a GO to place between the buttons.
Properties
The properties of the Segmented Control are as follows:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Separator | A graphic based UI GO, which will serve as the image that separates each button. *Note, you should disable the GO used for the separator or use a prefab to avoid dirtying the scene. |
| Allow Switching Off | When set, buttons can be clicked but not unselected, only selecting a new option will clear the selection |
| Selected Segment Index | Zero based index which chooses the selected default. This defaults to -1 which denotes no option selected |
| Selected Color | The highlighted color of the button when an option is selected |
| On Value Changed (event) | The Event fired when the selection within the control changes, passing the index of the selected button |
Methods
This component does not expose public methods beyond inherited behaviour.
Usage
Simply add the default Segmented Control to the scene using:
“GameObject -> UI -> Extensions -> Controls -> Segmented Control”
It is also available as a Game Component menu:
“Add Component -> UI -> Extensions -> Segmented Control -> Segmented Control”
However, you will need to manually add buttons as children to the GameObject for the options.
