iPhone Change Button Text

The example illustrate how to change the text of UIButton on click. Basically UIButton is a object that is handled by UIControl class, which defines the behavior of all the objects such as UIButton, UILabel, sliders etc..

UIControl has number of states ...that can be recognized depending on the control.

enum {
UIControlStateNormal = 0,
UIControlStateHighlighted = 1 << 0,
UIControlStateDisabled = 1 << 1,
UIControlStateSelected = 1 << 2,
UIControlStateApplication = 0x00FF0000,
UIControlStateReserved = 0xFF000000
};

1. UIControlStateNormal
2. UIControlStateHighlighted
