UIButton *btn = (UIButton *) sender;
selected = YES;
if (selected) {
[btn setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
}
}
and this my button creation code ,
int buttonheight = 30;
int horizontalPadding = 20;
int verticalPadding = 20;
int totalwidth = self.view.frame.size.width;
int x = 10;
int y = 150;
for (int i=0; i<array.count; i++)
{
NSString* titre = [array objectAtIndex:i];
CGSize contstrainedSize = CGSizeMake(200, 40);//The maximum width and height
NSDictionary *attributesDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20.0], NSFontAttributeName,
nil];
CGRect frame = [titre boundingRectWithSize:contstrainedSize options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin attributes:attributesDictionary context:nil];
int xpos = x + CGRectGetWidth(frame);
if (xpos > totalwidth) {
y =y +buttonheight+ verticalPadding;
x = 10;
}
UIButton *word= [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
self.word = word;
NSLog(#"%#", NSStringFromCGRect(frame));
word = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
word.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, CGRectGetWidth(frame)+5, CGRectGetHeight(frame));
[word setTitle:titre forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[word setTitle:titre forState:UIControlStateSelected];
word.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:30.0/255.0 green:134.0/255.0 blue:255.0/255.0 alpha:1.0];
[word setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[word setTag:i];
[word addTarget:self action:#selector(btn1Tapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
word.layer.borderColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
word.layer.borderWidth = 1.0f;
word.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
[self.view addSubview:word];
x =x+horizontalPadding+CGRectGetWidth(frame);
}

Answer 1

- (IBAction)allBtnSharedTappedevent:(id)sender {
UIButton *btn = (UIButton *) sender;
[btn setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
//loop through all your buttons
for(UIView *view in [self.view subviews]){
if([view isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]]){
if(view != btn){
UIButton* btn1 = (UIButton*) view;
[btn1 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
}
}
}
}

Answer 2

Keep the buttons in an array.
#property (nonatomic, copy, readonly) NSArray<UIButton *> *buttons;
Then in your method that handles the tap, do something like this.
- (IBAction)buttonTapped:(UIButton *)sender {
// Loop through all buttons, clearing the background color
for (UIButton *button in self.buttons) {
button.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}
// Set the background color for the selected button
sender.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}
You should avoid using the tag property of UIView, it will just cause you headaches down the road.

Answer 3

give your button tag number like 1,2,3,4 ... etc
then
- (IBAction)btn1Tapped:(id)sender {
UIButton *btn = (UIButton *) sender;
[btn setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
loop through all your buttons
for(int i = 1;i <= total numbers of button; i++){
if(btn.tag != i){
UIButton* btn1 = [myView viewWithTag:i];
[btn1 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor graycolor]];
}
}
}
