How to make image behind invisible button look like it was pressed down?

Hi I have a couple of images that are covered by an invisible button. Is there a way that I can make it look like the images were pressed down when I press the invisible button? Thanks!

Solution

  • You can put the image directly onto the button, you dont need a seperate UIImageView.

    [button setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateSelected];

    The are a few more UIControlState constants.

    Take a look at the docs:
