UISearchBar scopebar tint color issue

Question

While using uisearchbar with scope bar the tint color of scope bar is not updating in iOS 4.3.In remaining iOS versions it is working perfectly.I have shown the screenshot of that sample here.Any ideas to solve this please. enter image description here

How are you tinting it? Programatically, or in IB? I'd suggest posting the code you're using, if possible — lxt, Jan 02 '13 at 11:17

for (id subview in yourSearchDisplayController.searchBar.subviews )
{
    if([subview isMemberOfClass:[UISegmentedControl class]])
    {
        UISegmentedControl *scopeBar=(UISegmentedControl *) subview;
        [scopeBar setSegmentedControlStyle:UISegmentedControlStyleBar];
        [scopeBar setTintColor: [UIColor redColor]];//you can also set RGB color here 
        //scopeBar.tintColor =  [UIColor blackColor];         
    }
}

If I remember correctly, it was not possible to change a tint of the scope bar. One solution could be to search all the subviews of the search bar and find the scope bar object and try to modify its background. But this might lead you to modifying private property so it might not be acceptable. I was trying going this way but I abandoned it, not sure why.

Other not so clean solution would be to implement the scope bar by yourself and add it as a subview to the search bar and block the original scope bar. Do this only for the iOS 4.3 or less.

Change the tint color for changing color of scope bar. Note BarTintColor is different - this will change the color of the search bar.
