Question

When I make a custom UIButton with a background in interface builder, it gives me this default functionality of when i touch up inside, it sort of blacks out the image.
If I create the UIButton programmatically, like this:

    buttonPic = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 5, 100, 63)];
    [[buttonPic imageView] setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleToFill];

[buttonPic setImage: forState:UIControlStateNormal];

it doesn’t behave like the one I created in IB at all. Nothing changes when I touch up inside.
Is there a settings in UIButton that I am missing?
Thanks

I think you must enable one of this two options:

buttonPic.showsTouchWhenHighlighted = YES;
buttonPic.reversesTitleShadowWhenHighlighted = YES;
