iPhone: Override UIButton buttonWithType to return subclass

Question

I want to be able to create a UIButton with an oversized responsive area. I know that one way to do that is to override the hitTest method in a subclass, but how do I insta

Answer 1

Here's how I do it:

+ (instancetype)customButtonWithCustomArgument:(id)customValue {
    XYZCustomButtom *customButton = [super buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
    customButton.customProperty = customValue;
    [customButton customFunctionality];
    return customButton;
}

Works also with other types, UIButtonTypeSystem is just an example.
