How do I create custom UIControl subclasses in Swift?

Creating custom UIControl subclasses in Swift allows developers to build unique and reusable user interface components tailored to specific needs. This guide will walk you through the process of creating a simple custom button control that changes color when tapped.

Example of a Custom UIControl Subclass


        import UIKit

        class ColorChangingButton: UIControl {
            private var buttonColor: UIColor = .blue {
                didSet {
                    self.backgroundColor = buttonColor
                }
            }

            override init(frame: CGRect) {
                super.init(frame: frame)
                setupButton()
            }

            required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
                super.init(coder: aDecoder)
                setupButton()
            }

            private func setupButton() {
                self.backgroundColor = buttonColor
                self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonTapped), for: .touchUpInside)
            }

            @objc private func buttonTapped() {
                buttonColor = buttonColor == .blue ? .red : .blue
                sendActions(for: .valueChanged)
            }
        }
