Rotate UIBarButtonItem

Question

I want to rotate a UIBarButtonItem.

I have been able to do this with UIButtons using setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(…)

Answer 1

I extended UIToolBar, giving access to its subviews, and in it have a function rotate that rotates the buttons in the opposite direction of the bar:

- (void)rotate: (int)degrees{
    //for the bar
    self.transform=CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(DegreesToRadian(degrees));
    //for the subviews (UIBarButtonItems)
    for (UIView * subView in self.subviews)
    {
        if(!CGRectEqualToRect(subView.bounds, self.bounds))
            subView.transform =   CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(DegreesToRadian(-degrees));
    }

}
