Question

I have a UIButton inside a custom cell. Upon selecting the cell, the button changes it state to “highlighted” as well.

I’d like to prevent that behaviour. The button should change its state only when it’s specifically touched (I take care of that in my IBAction).

Is it possible?

Answer 1

This is what I used eventually (inside my Custom cell implementation):

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    BOOL highlightState = self.btn.highlighted;
    BOOL selectedState = self.btn.selected;

    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    self.btn.selected = selectedState;
    self.btn.highlighted = highlightState;
}

- (void) setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    BOOL highlightState = self.btn.highlighted;
    BOOL selectedState = self.btn.selected;

    [super setHighlighted:highlighted animated:animated];

    self.btn.selected = selectedState;
    self.btn.highlighted = highlightState;
}
