check if UIButton is selected

Is there any way to keep track the state of a UIButton whether it is selected or not? I tried accessing the selected property but it doesn't seem to work, seems to work only for UISwitch

Yes some UIButtons can have a selected state, which may only be momentary. However UIButtons inherit from UIControls which have a selected property. You can query to see if you button is selected using:

if([myButton isSelected])
    NSLog(@"Selected!")

You need to set the state to selected if you want to use it like a toggle

- (void)buttonTapped:(UIButton *)button;
{
    button.selected = ![button isSelected];
}

then you can just query it like normal

[self.button isSelected];

What do you mean by “selected”? In standard usage, UIButtons only have three states: normal, disabled, and active, where “active” means “being tapped right now”. They’re not sticky.
