How to highlight a UIButton subclass?

Question

I have a subclass of UIButton where I overwrite drawRect for a custom looking button.

But now the cell doesn\'t highlight.

How can I f

Answer 1

i think you can deal with the highlight problem with these methods below

- (BOOL)beginTrackingWithTouch:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (BOOL)continueTrackingWithTouch:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)endTrackingWithTouch:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)cancelTrackingWithEvent:(UIEvent *)event;

you can change the color or the image in these method

Answer 2

subclassing UIButton does not make sense because it's a kind of assembly/cluster class.

I had best experience creating own buttons when subclassing UIControl and add some custom behavior.

Check also this (you should not subclass UIButton).

Then also check how you highlight UIControl subclass.
