Question

My app is placing a button with a custom background image and i doesn’t need a border around it.
I am not sure how to remove the border.
My code is:

  UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    button.frame=CGRectMake(100, 170, 100,30);


    UIImage *cbutton = [UIImage imageNamed:@"pdficon_small.png"];
    [button setImage:cbutton forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    UIButton *button2 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    [button2 addTarget:self 
               action:@selector(openWordings:)
     forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];   


    [button setTag:2];
    [self.view addSubview:button];

Thanks in advance.

I’m assuming you mean there is a border arround button.
To remove it replace the line

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

with this

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

What you are doing right now is creating a standard RoundedRect button, then placing an image over the top.
using UIButtonTypeCustom will create what is essentially a “blank” button, allowing you to use your image.
