Question

I add a bar button to the navigation bar programitically as follows

UIBarButtonItem *cancel = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"CANCEL" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(goToPreviousView)];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = cancel;

Now I want to display Text “CANCEL” in RED Color.

I mean that I need to change the text on the bar button items, but not the tint color of the button.

How to do that?

Another method is :-

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"delete.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setTitle:@"Delete" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
 button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:12.0f];
[button.layer setCornerRadius:4.0f];
[button.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
[button.layer setBorderWidth:1.0f];
[button.layer setBorderColor: [[UIColor grayColor] CGColor]];
button.frame=CGRectMake(0.0, 100.0, 60.0, 30.0);
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(batchDelete)  forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

UIBarButtonItem* deleteItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
