Question

I want to design a UIButton in a specific way and cannot find in the Interface Builder all the relevant tools required for the design.

The tools I cannot find:

• Text Alignment: I want to have the text aligned to the middle (it is available for UILabel, but I don’t see this option in UIButton).
• Button Edges: I want to use Type >> Custom so I can have control over the button color and opacity; still, I wish to have rounded edges (like the Type >> Rounded Rect has). How can I do that?
• Edges Style/Design: If/Once I have these rounded edges for the button, I wish to set the width of the edges and its color (to have this nice frame). Is it possible?

If I can do it via Interface Builder, I prefer that; I don’t mind setting these attributes via code as well…

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

For that level of customizability you’ll have to make a custom button and either draw it in code or use images. Things like corner radius and edge style are not customizable in interface builder.
