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
textproperty to display content. - Customize its appearance with properties like
textColor,font, andtextAlignment. - Labels can be single or multi-line.
It's one of the most fundamental UI elements you'll encounter.
