UIBarButtonItem with custom image and no border
- by mongeta
Hello,
I want to create a UIBarButtonItem with a custom image, but I don't want the border that iPhone adds, as my Image has a special border.
It's the same as the back button but a forward button.
This App is for an inHouse project, so I don't care if Apple reject or approves it or likes it :-)
If I use the initWithCustomView:v property of the UIBarButtonItem, I can do it:
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"right.png"];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setBackgroundImage: [image stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:7.0 topCapHeight:0.0] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setBackgroundImage: [[UIImage imageNamed: @"right_clicked.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:7.0 topCapHeight:0.0] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
button.frame= CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, image.size.width, image.size.height);
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(AcceptData) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIView *v=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, image.size.width, image.size.height) ];
[v addSubview:button];
UIBarButtonItem *forward = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:v];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem= forward;
[v release];
[image release];
This works, but if I have to repeat this process in 10 views, this is not DRY.
I suppose I have to subclass, but what ?
NSView ?
UIBarButtonItem ?
thanks,
regards,
