Adding a button inside an image.

Question

CGRect frame = CGRectMake(round((self.view.bounds.size.width - kImageWidth) / 2.0), kTopPlacement, kImageWidth, kImageHeight); self.containerView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease]; [self.view addSubview:self.containerView];

// create the initial image view
frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, kImageWidth, kImageHeight);
self.mainView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];
self.mainView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:imagePath];

I want to put a button inside mainview.image. How can I do it?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Might be easier to use a UIButton and add the image as the background.

Look at the section on Configuring Button With Images

You could also add a clear button (using the UIButtonTypeCustom) on top of the UIImageView if you want the button to only take up part of the image.

Hi Sharreth

you have to create one button.

and add mainView as a subview to that button using code:

 [btnButton addSubView:mainView];

and add this button as a subview to your ViewContoller 's view

[self.view addSubView:btnButton];
