Simple Text UIButton Highlighting

Question

I've got a UIButton that I create at runtime. I put a title on it and have a few states set for it. I DO NOT have an image set to the background and want to avoid this. So the button should simply be a custom button with text in the middle.

When I click on it I see 0 feedback that I clicked on it. I can set the text to change states, but I don't get that grey highlighted color on top.

I've tried:

[button setShowsTouchWhenHighlighted:YES];

And get nothing. again I can set the title color to chagne based on the state but thats not really what I'm looking for. Any Ideas?

Thanks for any and all help.

Answer 1

change button type as: UIButtonTypeRoundedRect instead of UIButtonTypeCustom

UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; myButton.frame = CGRectMake(20, 20, 200, 44); // position in the parent view and set the size of the button [myButton setTitle:@"Click Me!" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; // add targets and actions [myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; // add to a view [superView addSubview:myButton];
