UIButton State (UIControlState)

Question

How do I set the state of of UIButton ?

In the UIButton class reference there is a "state" but it is only "readonly".

Thanks James

Answer 1

You can set selected property for example

buttton.selected = YES;

Also enabled and highlighted properties are available.

Note that all these properties set a bit mask on control's state which you can get using read-only state property.

Answer 2

myButton.highlighted = YES/NO;
myButton.selected = YES/NO;
myButton.enabled = YES/NO;

These are defined on UIButton's ancestor UIControl.
