Why does my UIButton.titleLabel.text disappear when I place an image in the button?

I've had this problem before but was able to work around it until now, Basically I'm creating a custom UIbutton setting its image as a uiimage and then the button that has had a label until I implimented the below code now loses its label. I need that label because it is set programatically in code that follows.

 NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:kNameOfButtonimage ];
            UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:imageName];
            [button setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal ];

Any help you could lend would be mucho appreciated.

  • I needed to do a: 

    [button setBackroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal ];

    instead of this:

    [button setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal ];
