Question

I have a UIButton that I create in a storyboard and assign to a property in my view controller through an outlet.

I want to make the button be transparent, but the code that I am using to (try to) do this seems to have no effect, specifically in viewDidLoad I call:

[self.signUpButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

The button maintains the default background colour acquired from the storyboard definition.

So – my questions are – 1) Why doesn’t this work? 2) Can the background colour of a button be defined in the story board?

Cheers,

Owen

Use an image.

- (void)setImage:(UIImage *)image forState:(UIControlState)state
