How to disable UIButton Tint Color?

Question

I know my case may be rare but how do you disable the UIButton tint colour in this case?

I have a customised UIButton which has attributedTitle to help display the button pattern in different colour and alpha.

In my customised button .m file I have set something like this

[self setBackgroundImage:[self imageWithColor:[UIColor grayColor]] forState:UIControlStateSelected];

which will make the background colour to gray when the button is selected

However the real result looks like this:

Some how the text colour gets turned into white which I think is because of the tint effect on UIButtons.

Is that possible for me to have the background as grey while the text still remain the colour as set in the attributed title on selected state of the button?

Thanks

Answer 1

yourbutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

                        (or)

If u placed button in storyboard....Choose button type as custom instead of system.
