objective c - How to create a horizontal scrolling view on iPhone?

Question

I want to create a horizontal scrolling field at the top of a UITableView (something similar to what can be found on the Home section of the Facebook App).

I want the scrolling field to be filled with six sections where only one section could be selected at a time?

How should i do this?

I know i should create a UIScrollView and set it to the header view of the table, but i am having trouble seeing the scroll bars or seeing it actually scroll horizontally. What visual objects should i use to represent the six sections and to ensure that only one section can be selected at a time (i know i could probably use a segmented control, but i want the section to look more like labels)?

Thanks for the help.

The Facebook app's tab views are open source (Apache licensed). Check out TTTabStrip.
