is it possible to update UIButton title/text programmatically?

Question

I have a UIButton, that when pressed, brings up a new view where the user can change some settings. When the view is dismissed, I\'d like to update the title/t

I discovered another problem. It may be a bug introduced in iOS 5, but I thought I'd point it out for anyone else who encounters it.

If you don't set any default text for the button in the XIB, no text will ever appear if you set it programmatically. And if you do set text in the XIB, any text you subsequently assign to the button programmatically will be truncated to the size of the default text.

And finally, if you're showing the view with your button and then invoke another view (like an ActionSheet) and then dismiss it, the text that you assigned to the button programmatically will be erased and the button caption will return to whatever you set up in the XIB.
