This is very neat, but how can you set different background colors for the different states (disabled, highlighted, etc)?

Thanks for the great code!

I however had an access violation, and had to change to the following:

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *_highColor; @property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *_lowColor;

You had (assign) instead, and in "drawRect" the colors were no longer accessible.

I had a CustomerButton on two different view controllers. The first one showed fine, but when navigating to the second one, the crash would occur.

Both view controllers were in separate nib's.

Thanks, Scott

I got it. the code needs to add the lib,

import

(You should write this for the newbies like me :). It took a long to figure it out. I had QuartzCore and CoreGraphics framework imported, but still need the .h file.

Thanks for the tutorial. its great!

[[loginButton layer] setCornerRadius:8.0f]; [[loginButton layer] setMasksToBounds:YES]; [[loginButton layer] setBorderWidth:1.0f]; [[loginButton layer] setBackgroundColor: [COLOR_BUTTON_LOGIN CGColor] ];

Nice! I actually didn’t realize this consequence of UIView being layer-based and instead wrote a tiny category that added a class-method to UIImage in order to easily generate glass-style-/gradient-buttons in code…

I have to say I pretty much prefer doing it your way — it feels much more…appropriate.

Great post. Adding a drop shadow would really complete this class. But as it is. Great Job!

First time reader. Love the blog!

Thanks for the tutorial. Do you have a pointer for adding a drop shadow to the buttons?

[...] By changing the layer attributes of the button is it possible to keep the rounded button look while changing the color, and using CAGradientLayer it is possible to add some great looking gradients. You can see Matt’s tutorial for doing this here along with a nice sample application: Fun With UIButtons and Core Animation Layers [...]

Hi, thanks for sharing. I forgot I could use this. I usually use images and even create them by code one in this scenarios. What do you think is the performance penalty of this method against straight images?

Cheers!

Wow – I didn’t know you could do that, in the past I had been setting background images like you mentioned. This has potential for nice and easy effects – thanks for sharing!
