Question

I initiated my button like this:

meetingPointButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[meetingPointButton setTitle:@"Alpha" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[meetingPointButton setTitleColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Afterwards I change its title and when doing so also want to alter the title color. I am using following code:

[meetingPointButton setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[meetingPointButton setTitle:@"Beta" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

The title changes to “Beta” but its color stays light gray. Any ideas how to solve that issue?

As prince said use:

meetingPointButton.titleLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];

Leaving out forState:UIControlStateNormal makes the button switch right away instead of the next time it recieves to go to UIControlStateNormal. Knowing this you could also just set the button to UIControlStateNormal after your original code.
