POIBAction used with Dynamically added UIbuttons
text
Body
copied!<p>Good Evening all!</p> <p>I have some UIButtons added dynamically into my view and of course I have an IBAction which handles button events. </p> <p>The problem is: How can I detect which button is pressed if the only thing I know is the (id)sender and the array of buttons? </p> <p>Buttons are never the same, every button has a different behavior. When I want to use static buttons and connect them through the IB I use something like this :</p> <pre><code>-(IBAction)doSomething:(id)sender { if(sender == button1) dosomething; if(sender == button2) dosomething else; if(sender == button3) dosomething3; } </code></pre> <p>In my case this does not work because there is no button1, button2, button3 but a MutableArray of buttons which have the same name as they were allocated with it. Button!</p> <p>I tried using the way above but with no success and i tried also getting the tag of a button but I have nothing to compare it to!</p> <p>I would really appreciate your help.</p> <p>sincerely<br> L_Sonic PS Dynamicaly means that i am creating the buttons in random time during run time like this</p> <pre><code>-(void)configActionSheetView { buttonView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0,460, 60, 480)]; [buttonView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; [buttonView setAlpha:0.6]; for (int i = 0 ;i<[buffButtons count];i++) { UIButton *customButton = [buffButtons objectAtIndex:i]; customButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; //UILabel *customLabel = [[UILabel alloc]init]; //[customButton setTag:(i)+11]; [customButton addTarget:self action:@selector(activateBuffEffect:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [customButton setAlpha:1.0]; customButton.frame = CGRectMake(8.0, 5+(50*i), 44.0, 44.0); [customButton setTitle:nil forState:UIControlStateNormal]; buttonView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 460, 60, 50+(44*(i+1))); [buttonView addSubview:customButton]; } } </code></pre> <p>this is inside a functions and gets called during run time. the buffButtons is a mutableArray with buttons that gets populated during runtime. i need a solution like this i cannot get a different eventhandling method for everybutton. </p>
