iPhone Dev - Create UIButton Manually
I'd try something like this:
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; myButton.frame = CGRectMake(20, 20, 200, 44); // position in the parent view and set the size of the button [myButton setTitle:@"Click Me!" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; // add targets and actions [myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; // add to a view [superView addSubview:myButton];
Disclaimer: Just typing this in here. I don't have access to my Mac at the moment so I can't test it.
P.S. Any particular reason not to use Interface Builder? Just curious.
