property

Summary​

The number of segments shown

Syntax​

get the itemCount of <widget>
set the itemCount of <widget> to <number>

Description​

The itemCount property can be used to obtain or to set the number of segments shown by the segmented control.

When you set the itemCount to a number larger than the current number of segments in the control, new segments are added to the end of the control with unique names and labels.

When you set the itemCount to a number smaller than the current number of segments in the control, segments are discarded from the end of the control. If this results in discarding a segment that's currently highlighted, the hiliteChanged message may be sent.

The segmented control must always have at least one segment.
