How can I programmatically set the vertical alignment of a UIButton - iOS

Question

I know how to set the vertical alignment of a button with IB; see here. But I can not do it programmatically... This is one of the things I have tried:

UIButton *button  = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 110, 130)]; [button setTitle:@"Align" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; button.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; button.titleLabel.textColor = [UIColor grayColor]; [button setContentVerticalAlignment:UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentBottom];  [self.view addSubview:button];  [button release]; 

I have also tried insets...

But the alignment won't change.

Please note that I want to keep the CustomStyle of the button (I don't want the default look and feel).

Answer 1

You can alignment (horizontal and vertical) the text of button in this way:

        UIButton *button  = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 70)];         button.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];         button.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentLeft;         button.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentBottom;         [button setTitle:@"Align" forState:UIControlStateNormal];         [self.container addSubview:button]; 

Answer 2

contentVerticalAlignment is the way to go. Could be how you're creating the button. Try this:

 UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];  button.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 110, 130);  // rest of your code  // don't release button explicitly
