UIPageControl not appearing when Vertical is selected

Question

I can get the `UIPageControl` to work when the `PageViewController` Navigation style is set to `Horizontal`, however when I choose `Vertical` the `UIPageControl` does not appear horizontal or vertical. I am setting the appearance of my UIPageControl in the AppDelegate: ``` - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { // Override point for customization after application launch. UIPageControl *pageControl = [UIPageControl appearance]; pageControl.pageIndicatorTintColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor]; pageControl.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = [UIColor blackColor]; pageControl.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; return YES; } ``` Is there a way to make it appear in a vertical position? The code above works when the `Horizontal` option is selected for navigation but not when the `Vertical` is selected.

Accepted Answer

If I understand correctly, what you want to do is to use `UIPageViewController` with vertical orientation and also display the `UIPageControl` vertically. I tried to do that, but it seems that the `UIPageControl` related to the `UIPageViewController` is not accessible directly.

However, I found a very satisfactory workaround to your problem. Use `UIScrollView` with pagingEnabled and manage the `UIPageControl` in the scrollView's delegate methods. To display the `UIPageControl` vertically, you can use

```
pageControl.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 2);
```

I made a sample application demonstrating this workaround. Here is the download link. Consider accepting the question if it helped you solve the problem, thanks.
