Set Text for Custom UIBarButtonItem

Question

I need to set title for Custom UIBarButtonItem.

I've the following code:

UIButton* backToRecent = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[backToRecent setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"back.png"]forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[backToRecent addTarget:self action:@selector(backToRecent) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[backToRecent setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 60, 30)];

UIBarButtonItem* backButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:backToRecent];
[backButtonItem setTitle:@"Recent"];
partViewController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButtonItem;
[backButtonItem release];

But the button appears without the "Recent" text.

Muhammad, I suspect you have resolved this already, but here is an easy way. Hope this helps someone who is struggling with the same issue:

    UIBarButtonItem * backButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Recent" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(backToRecent)];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButtonItem;
