Common UI Controls and Events

Work with standard UIKit controls like buttons, labels, text fields, and learn to handle user interactions and events.

UI Controls: Your App's Face

User Interface (UI) controls are the interactive elements users see and touch in an app. They are the building blocks of any iOS application's visual experience.

  • Buttons: Tap to perform actions.
  • Labels: Display static text.
  • Text Fields: Input text from the user.

Mastering these controls is crucial for creating intuitive and functional apps, especially when maintaining legacy Objective-C codebases.

Displaying Text with UILabel

A UILabel is used to display static, read-only text in your app. Think of it as a sign or a description.

  • Set its text property to display content.
  • Customize its appearance with properties like textColor, font, and textAlignment.
  • Labels can be single or multi-line.

It's one of the most fundamental UI elements you'll encounter.
