UIButton setTitle forState: example objc

setTitle forState

Sets the title to use for the specified state.

- (void)setTitle:(NSString *)title forState:(UIControlState)state

Parameters

title

The title to use for the specified state.

state

The state that uses the specified title. The values are described in UIControlState.

Discussion

In general, if a property is not specified for a state, the default is to use the UIControlStateNormal value. If the value for UIControlStateNormal is not set, then the property defaults to a system value. Therefore, at a minimum, you should set the value for the normal state.

Example for ( setTitle:forState: )
{
    NSString            *title = @"My button title";
    UIColor              *titleColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.5f alpha:1.0f];
    UIImage             *bgImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"yourImage.png"];

    UIImage             *highlightedBgImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"yourImage.png"];

    UIButton            *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

    

    // Create button.

    //

    button.bounds = CGRectMake( 0.0f, 0.0f, bgImage.size.width, bgImage.size.height );

    button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Medium" size:14.0f];

    button.titleLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;

    button.titleLabel.minimumFontSize = 10.0f;

    [button setTitleColor:titleColor forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [button setTitleColor:titleColor forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

    [button setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [button setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

    [button setBackgroundImage:bgImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
