How can I change the Storyboard animation for modal in Xcode 4.2?

Question

I am quite new to Xcode coding and I have been using Storyboard for along time, if you know when you link a button to a view and select the option "Modal" it will make a link with the animation of the new view coming up from the bottom. I was wondering if it was possible to change the animation to the new view coming from the right. I am sorry this question was so brief, if you need more info just ask me.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you select the segue and look at the Attributes Inspector (on the right side of the window), you will see a pop-up menu labeled Transition. This menu lists the available transition styles for the segue:

• Cover Vertical
• Flip Horizontal
• Cross Dissolve
• Partial Curl

If you want a different style of transition, you will need to use a different type of segue. If you have a UINavigationController hosting your source view controller (the one that contains the button), you can use a Push segue, which slides the new view in from the right. If you don't have a navigation controller or don't like the Push segue animation, you'll have to implement a custom segue to change the animation.
