Deleselect uisegmentedcontrol selection after clicking on a save button

Question

I'm using a 3 button UISegmented control for a choice selection. I also have a save button that retrieves the chosen control.

When the save button is clicked I want to have to UISegmentedcontrol cleared (ie the previous selected button unselected). I'm not looking for the setMomentary as I want the selection to stick but also be able to unselect it later.

With Swift 4 and iOS 11, the Apple documentation states for selectedSegmentIndex:

The default value is UISegmentedControlNoSegment (no segment selected) until the user touches a segment. Set this property to -1 to turn off the current selection.

Therefore you can use one of the two following implementations in order to remove the selection of your UISegmentedControl instance:

mySegmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = -1

mySegmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = UISegmentedControlNoSegment

In Swift 5 replaced by UISegmentedControl.noSegment – Pomo-J Oct 08 '19 at 16:13 — Pomo-J, Oct 08 '19 at 16:13
