Question

Hi i am creating a UIButton programatically and I am trying to change the text color of the button’s textLabel to orange. I’ve tried both lines below but they aren’t working. Can someone tell me how to do this properly.

[myButton.titleLabel setTextColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

and,

myButton.titleLabel.textColor = [UIColor orangeColor];

Answer 1

Try using - (void)setTitleColor:(UIColor *)color forState:(UIControlState)state instead:

[myButton setTitleColor:[UIColor orangeColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

The problem here is that a UIButton’s titleLabel is read only, though its properties are not. That’s why your seemingly correct code doesn’t work.
