What is the name for the view that manages the iPhone home screen?

Question

My google-fu is failing here. I'm looking for the name of the UIView (or whatever it is) that handles several pages, with those little glowing dots indicating which page you're on.

Answer 1

To expand on coneybeare's brief description, there is no special control that does the pages, it is simply a UIView within a UIScrollView with code to 'lock' the scrolling to certain spots (pages). The UIPageControl is simply a display of which position the scrollview is currently locked to.

A perfect example is Apple's sample code/demo here: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/PageControl/index.html

Answer 2

UIScrollView is the name of the view with pages
UIPageControl is what you connect to it to add the dots
