Answer 1

U have to call a function within this function like this :

-(void)touchesBegan: ( NSSet* )touches withEvent : (UIEvent ) event { [self createButton]; }

and define it like this, this will create a UIButton Dynamically.

-(IBAction) createButton { //create a new dynamic button

CGRect frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 30);

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

button.frame = frame;

[button setTitle:(NSString *)@"new button" forState:(UIControlState)UIControlStateNormal];

[button addTarget:self action:nil forControlEvents:nil];

[self.view addSubview:button];

}

U can do whatever you want in this createButton.....
