Changing Size of Text on a UIButton

Question

Client wants me to do something, i have just checked and i m quite sure its not possible. He asked to put a text on a Button ( UIButton ). (Default State Configuration) And when the user clicks it the text should enlarge. (Highligted State Configuration) I have checked by selecting Highligted State Configuration and then changed the size of text in the Interface Builder but i didnt work . The text changed for Default State Configuration as well. Please tell me if there is any way to do it.

Thanks!

You might not be able to do it in IB, but you can certainly do it with a pair of actions. I'm assuming that the highlighted state will only be active while the button is pressed. You can modify this code if that's not the case (to toggle the state back to normal when the highlighted state ends).

- (IBAction)buttonDown:(id)sender {
    UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
    button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18.0];
}

- (IBAction)buttonUp:(id)sender {
    UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
    button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15.0];
}
