How to navigat pages in an ebook by tapping a array of dots?

[snowffer]

Hello, everybody

Thank you for opening this thread.

I am writing code for a magazine reader. I want to turn over a magazine from page 1 to page N by sliding a array of dots. Every dot stands for a page. (For example, when I have read page 1, then I want to read page 13 directly but not turning from page 1 to page 2, page 3... until page13).
Just like this:


And when tap a dot, there is a little window pops up to show which page it is.

So how can I implement it? It seems that UIPageControl only can turn over pages one by one.

I'll very appreciate your help.

I would approach this by trying to build my own slider control. Mike Ash has a great tutorial about how to do that on his blog:

Once you have the slider, you could build your own page control, or simply swap subviews representing pages in your view controller, based on target action messages received from the slider.

Hope this helps,

Bart

Thank you, Bart, the information is real helpful.

It's a pity that Mike Ash implemented that on Mac OS X, not on iOS. But still thank you very much.
