Cocoa touch（五）：UIControl

UIControl，是所有可响应事件控件的基类，通过观察者模式实现了事件的处理，

注册事件观察者

// target是注册的观察者，action为响应方法，后边是观察的事件
- (void)addTarget:(id)target action:(SEL)action forControlEvents:(UIControlEvents)controlEvents;

发送事件

// 触发某控件的事件
- (void)sendAction:(SEL)action to:(id)target forEvent:(UIEvent *)event;

控件具有几种状态，常用的是前面4种，看后面注释

typedef NS_OPTIONS(NSUInteger, UIControlState) {
    UIControlStateNormal       = 0,
    UIControlStateHighlighted  = 1 << 0,                  // used when UIControl isHighlighted is set
    UIControlStateDisabled     = 1 << 1,
    UIControlStateSelected     = 1 << 2,                  // flag usable by app (see below)
    UIControlStateApplication  = 0x00FF0000,              // additional flags available for application use
    UIControlStateReserved     = 0xFF000000               // flags reserved for internal framework use
};

 

@interface UIControl : UIView {

@property(nonatomic,getter=isEnabled) BOOL enabled;                                  // default is YES. if NO, ignores touch events and subclasses may draw differently
@property(nonatomic,getter=isSelected) BOOL selected;                                // default is NO may be used by some subclasses or by application

- (void)addTarget:(id)target action:(SEL)action forControlEvents:(UIControlEvents)controlEvents;

// remove the target/action for a set of events. pass in NULL for the action to remove all actions for that target

- (void)sendActionsForControlEvents:(UIControlEvents)controlEvents;                        // send all actions associated with events
