In my Xcode project, I have a few buttons in the main window that I would like to replace with another type of button. In this case, there are a few rectangles and a rounded rectangle button. Is there an easy way to replace the buttons with another style, or am I stuck with deleting them and settings them all up again? Thanks in advance!
You can select button type custom and use your own special background as the button in Interface Builder.
If you want to further customize your button, I suggest making an outlet of it and customize it programmatically.
Good Luck!

I've been following this guide carefully and I got stuck here.

When I try to connect press ctrl and drag on my button, a popup comes up giving me options "Leading space to container, Center Vertically in container, Equal widths, equal height Aspect ratio" I don't see the option to press my button like in the guide. I read the comments below and it seems like everyone is having this problem. I know it's an old guide so that's probably the reason why
Just right click on the button and then you can normally drag from touchUpInside action to your view controller.
Instead of control-dragging from the storyboard to the storyboard, open up the Assistant Editor with the .m/.h file you want the action code to be in, and control-drag the button from the storyboard to somewhere in that document. Then you should be able to pick between IBOutlet and IBAction.
Hope this helps!
I don't really know what it is but the icon on the top right of a finder window, (oval shaped button) when clicked hides the sidebar and toolbar icons, how can I implement something like this in my XCode project?
Thanks
As far as I can tell, this is just a standard NSButton that has a particular action bound to it. Adium has a similar button and is open source, you might try reading through the source code to see what they've done.

I'm working with Xcode doing a Ipad app.
i simply want user to click anywhere on screen (not counting text fields) to perform some IBAction.I'm using an invisible button that covers my whole view.
Since I have some text fields in my view,i need to add this invisible button to the background of my user interface. I cant seem to find this option in the button attributes? any help?
Just set the button's type to custom.
Did you try setting the opacity of the button to zero?
I guess i got your point. You just want to put the UIButton(invisible) on the back of all the UITextField. The simple solution to this is open the Document Window in the IB. Now expand the view tree in the list view. Just drag your UIButton above the UITextFields and set the alpha value for the button in the property to be zero.
Hope this helps!!
iPad users don't "click". They "tap" or "touch".
In Interface Builder, I believe views are constructed with a z-index from top to bottom as they appear in the document window, so dragging your button so that it appears as the first subview of your main view should be a quick fix for this.
Have you considered other approaches? This doesn't sound like standard behaviour for an app and will probably cause havoc with anybody using Voice Over. What are you trying to accomplish?
How to make glossy button in Vb.Net?
or
how change button background on mouseover?
If you are using WinForms, you usually achieve this by creating a new class inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.
From there, overwrite OnMouseEnter, OnMouseLeave, and OnPaint to draw a button to your specifications.
hope my reply helps you
Select the button
Go to its properties and change the button style to FLAT
In the same property widow now select FLAT SETTINGS
And you can see color to appear when clicked or hover on it...
How would make a Status Item when the actually button is clicked in the Menu Bar not in a drop down menu show or hide a window?
Sorry if this is a bit vague.
NSStatusItem supports the target/action mechanism like many other controls. I haven't used this myself -- I've only ever used an NSStatusItem with a menu attached -- so I don't know when the message is sent (i.e. when the mouse button is clicked or when it's released). If it doesn't do what you want by default, you would need a custom view like Daniel suggests.
To achieve this with NSStatusItem you need to create a custom view and replace the default NSStatusItem view by calling its "setView:" method.
You'll implement code in your custom view to react to mouse clicks by e.g. putting up a window. (You can use a button, or other standard views if it works best for you).
I'll warn you this is a bit tricky to get right. Lots of little nuances e.g. with getting the look of your custom view to look right in the menu bar. But this is the general approach you need to take if you want to override the default menu-prompting status item view.
