IPhone UIButton with UISwitch functionality

Question

Is there a way to implement UISwitch with custom graphics for switch states? Or as an alternative, on the contrary, UIButton with UISwitch functionality?

Answer 1

UIButton already supports switch functionality.

Just set a different image in Interface Builder for "Configuring Selected States" and use the selected property for UIButton to switch its state.

Answer 2

set the image in the selected state:

 [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"btn_graphics"] forState:UIControlStateSelected]; 

and then touch the internal selector, set:

 button.selected = YES; 

if you want this to deselect another button, set:

 otherButton.selected = NO; 

Answer 3

To build on what PGB and nurne said above, after you set your states and add a selector (event method), you would like to put this code in this selector.

 - (IBAction)cost:(id)sender { //Toggle current state and save self.buttonTest.selected = !self.buttonTest.selected; /** The rest of your method goes here. */ } 

Answer 4

For software-inclined:

 -(void) addToggleButton { CGRect aframe = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100); UIImage *selectedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"selected"]; UIImage *unselectedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"unselected"]; self.toggleUIButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:aframe]; [self.toggleUIButton setImage:unselectedImage forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [self.toggleUIButton setImage:selectedImage forState:UIControlStateSelected]; [self.toggleUIButton addTarget:self action:@selector(clickToggle:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [self addSubview:self.toggleUIButton]; } -(void) clickToggle:(id) sender { BOOL isSelected = [(UIButton *)sender isSelected]; [(UIButton *) sender setSelected:!isSelected]; }
