Question

I would like to use the better styled UIBarButtonType as a typical UIButton. This is just to use on a view not a navigationBar.

I don’t really want to recreate the button in an image app and apply to the various states. I know how to do it the other way around so there must be a way.

Please help.

Answer 1

I tried this and it works :

UIButton *info = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight];
UIBarButtonItem *infoBis = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:info];
NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:infoBis, nil];
[tool setItems:array animated:YES]; //tool = UIToolbar

don’t forget to put a target on your UIBarButtonItem 😉
