Programmatically Linking UIPageControl to UIScrollView

Maybe this works for you

Don't forget to set the UIScrollView's delegate = self (or wherever you have the selector below).

- (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
    CGFloat pageWidth = self.scrollView.frame.size.width; // you need to have a **iVar** with getter for scrollView
    float fractionalPage = self.scrollView.contentOffset.x / pageWidth;
    NSInteger page = lround(fractionalPage);
    self.pageControl.currentPage = page; // you need to have a **iVar** with getter for pageControl
}

For your code it then would be:

.h file

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface HelpViewController : UIViewController{
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIScrollView *scrollView;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIPageControl * pageControl;
@end

.m file

#import "HelpViewController.h"

@interface HelpViewController ()

@end

@implementation HelpViewController
@synthesize scrollView=scrollView_;
@synthesize pageControl=pageControl_;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    CGRect scrollViewFrame = CGRectMake(0, 62, 320, 404);
    self.scrollView = [[[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:scrollViewFrame] autorelease];
    self.scrollView.delegate = self;
    [self.view addSubview:self.scrollView];
    CGSize scrollViewContentSize = CGSizeMake(640, 404);
    [self.scrollView setContentSize:scrollViewContentSize];
    UILabel *label  = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(200, 200, 50, 21)];
    [label setText:@"Hello"];
    [self.scrollView addSubview:label];
    [self.scrollView setPagingEnabled:YES];
    self.scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
    self.pageControl = [[[UIPageControl alloc] init] autorelease]; 
    self.pageControl.frame = CGRectMake(110,5,100,100); 
    self.pageControl.numberOfPages = 2; 
    self.pageControl.currentPage = 0; 
    [self.view addSubview:self.pageControl];
    pageControl.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}

 - (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
        CGFloat pageWidth = self.scrollView.frame.size.width;
        float fractionalPage = self.scrollView.contentOffset.x / pageWidth;
        NSInteger page = lround(fractionalPage);
        self.pageControl.currentPage = page; 
    }

This is actually quite simple to setup. Firstly you need to create the scroll view and page control. Make sure you implement UIScrollViewDelegate in the interface of the class.

    UIScrollView * scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
    scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollView.frame.size.width * 3, scrollView.frame.size.height);
    scrollView.delegate = self;

    UIPageControl * pageControl = [[UIPageControl alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 90, scrollView.frame.size.width, 20)];
    pageControl.numberOfPages = scrollView.contentSize.width/scrollView.frame.size.width;
    [pageControl addTarget:self action:@selector(changePage:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

Then you need to add the following two methods:

- (IBAction)changePage:(id)sender {
    CGFloat x = pageControl.currentPage * scrollView.frame.size.width;
    [scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(x, 0) animated:YES];
}

-(void) scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView  {
    NSInteger pageNumber = roundf(scrollView.contentOffset.x / (scrollView.frame.size.width));
    pageControl.currentPage = pageNumber;
}

These methods add the required communication between the page control and the scroll view.

Following code will work for Swift:

func addScrollView() {        
    let scrollView = UIScrollView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200))
    let numberOfPages: CGFloat = 4
    scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: scrollView.frame.width * numberOfPages, height: scrollView.frame.height * numberOfPages)
    scrollView.delegate = self
    scrollView.isPagingEnabled = true

    let pageControl = UIPageControl(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: scrollView.frame.height - 37, width: scrollView.frame.width, height: 37))
    pageControl.numberOfPages = Int(numberOfPages)
    pageControl.currentPage = 0
}

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    let value = scrollView.contentOffset.x / scrollView.frame.size.width
    pageControl.currentPage = Int(round(value))
}

to get exact page index without rounding off the value simply put the pagecontrol.currentpage in the scrollViewDidEndDecelerating delegate method of scroll view.This works for me!
