Sample Coding in Viewcontroller.swift

Label
Label ( outlet)
@IBOutlet weak var lblmsg: UILabel!
InAction
lblmsg.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
lblmsg.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
lblmsg.text = txtmsg.text
lblmsg.font = lblmsg.font.fontWithSize(30)
Button
button (action)
@IBAction func btnact(sender: UIButton) {
deactivatebutton.enabled = true
activatebutton.enabled = false
lblmsg.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
lblmsg.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

}
outlet
@IBOutlet weak var deactivatebutton: UIButton!

TextField
TextField (outlet)
@IBOutlet weak var txtmsg: UITextField!
InAction
Lblmsg.text = tstmsg.text
txtmsg.text = xyz
txtname.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
TextArea
Text Area (outlet)
@IBOutlet weak var textview: UITextView!
InAction
textview.text = "Part 3"
textview.textColor = UIColor.redColor()
textview.scrollEnabled = false
ImageView
imageView Outlet
@IBOutlet weak var UIIV1: UIImageView!
InAction
Through programming (not using attribute inspector to set the pic)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let imageview = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "img1.png"))
UIIV1.frame = imageview.frame
UIIV1.addSubview(imageview)
}
To add more than 1 image and perform animation
To create an array
var imagelist : [UIImage] = [UIImage(named: "img1.png")!, UIImage(named:
"img2.png")!, UIImage(named: "img3.png")!]
or
var imagelist = [UIImage]()
for i in 1 ... 3

{
let imagename = "img\(i).png"
imagelist.append(UIImage(named: imagename)!)
}
To start and stop animation using button
@IBAction func Start(sender: UIButton) {
UIIV1.animationImages = imagelist
UIIV1.animationDuration = NSTimeInterval.abs(5)
UIIV1.startAnimating()
}
@IBAction func Stop(sender: UIButton) {
UIIV1.stopAnimating()
}
Slider
Slider Outlet
@IBOutlet weak var slider1: UISlider!
InAction
@IBAction func SliderAction(sender: UISlider) {
var cssize = "Current slider : "
cssize += String (Int (sender.value))
lblvalue.text = cssize
}
Stepper (+-)
Stepper Outlet
@IBOutlet weak var step1: UIStepper!
InAction
@IBAction func stepAction(sender: UIStepper) {
self. lblcurrentvalue = Float (sender.value)
}
Switch
InAction
@IBAction func Switch1(sender: UISwitch) {
if sender.on
{
//on coding
}else
{
//off coding
}
}

Segment
InAction
@IBAction func SelectionClick(sender: UISegmentedControl) {
if sender.selectedSegmentIndex == 0 {
//action on selecting first segment
}else if sender.selectedSegmentIndex == 1 {
//action on selecting second segment
}else if sender.selectedSegmentIndex == 2 {
//action on selecting third segment
}
}
Pop up an alertnotification
Alert message
var popupmsg = "Alert Message : "
popupmsg += txtmsg.text!
let notification = UIAlertController(title: "Notification", message: popupmsg,
preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert) // alert
let notificationOk = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default,
handler: nil)
notification.addAction(notificationOk)
self.presentViewController(notification, animated: true, completion: nil)
ActionSheet
Same as Alert Message just change the
let notification = UIAlertController(title: "Notification", message: popupmsg,
preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.ActionSheet)
Add the action for each button.
let notificationOk = UIAlertAction(title: "ok", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) {
(action) -> Void in
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
}
Add Text field to the alertnotification
notification.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler(nil)
Get text field value from alertnotification
self.text1 = (notification.textFields!.first)!.text!
