Change UIButton type programmatically

Question

I have an UIButton made with IB, it is set to "Rounded Rect". At one point, I'd like to change the type to "Custom" in the code, is that possible ? I saw the type can be set at creation, but did not see if it was possible to change it later on.

Answer 1

If I'm not mistaken, different button types are represented by different (private) subclasses of UIButton. That's why you can only set type at creation time but not after.

Answer 2

I don't know if I'll be much help, but for me it worked by doing:

button = [UIButton buttonWithType:(UIButtonType)];

example:

calculateButton = [UIButton buttonWithType: UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
