Question

I have custom buttons in the nav bar, I want to toggle their state by am confounded by their accessors.

I know to get the button of a view (slightly different code than showed below) or cell I can do this:

mybutton=(UIButton*)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:5];

How can I access the buttons of my navigation bar? (they are already set in code)

cheers

Answer 1

When you create the button and add it to the navbar instead of releasing the button retain it. Then you can reference them whenever you need to.

So add a property to the view controller:

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIButton *myButton;

Then in the method where you create the button use:

self.myButton = [UIButton …

Remember to release the myButton in the view controller’s dealloc method.
