How do I set the background image of a UISegmentedControl

Question

I have a view with a segmentedcontrol in it and I would like to set the background image of that control. I know that I can change set the tint color, but I want more control over it than that. So if I could set a background image that would be cool.

I found this tutorial on how to achieve this , however it's outdated, and I'm unable to get it working.

Could anyone please help me? I greatly appreciate any help.

UPDATE

Half the solution has been found, if the only thing one needs to support is iOS5 you can use setBackgroundImage:forState:barMetrics:. A great tutorial on the matter can be found here.
