Question

I have a UIButton which is created programmatically. How do I get this UIButton to send its touch up events to an IBAction I have?

Answer 1

addTarget:action:forControlEvents: method.

[myButton addTarget:myClass action:@selector(myEventHandler) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

From http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIControl_Class/Reference/Reference.html.

Answer 2

with this line of code you will fire UIbutton action by programmatically

[button sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

For swift

button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(functionNameHere), for: UIControl.Event.touchUpInside)

Answer 3

[button addTarget:self 
           action:@selector(myMethod:)
 forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Like magic =)
