Keep iPhone UIButton Highlighted

Question

I have the following code snippets:

@interface Foo: UIViewController { ... UIButton *myButton; ... }

@implementation Foo

• (void) viewDidLoad { ... myButton.highlighted = YES; ... }

When I run the app, the button is highlighted in blue (default behavior). It works as I expected.

But after pressing the button once, the button is no longer highlighted.

Then, I created an IBAction highlightButton to handle "Touch Up Inside" event where I explicitly call "myButton.highlighted = Yes;". Unfortunately, the button highlight still does not stay.

How can I keep it highlighted in blue even after being pressed?

Thanks in advance for your help
