Subclassing UIButton to set value like tag

I was trying to subclass some UIButtons in oder to obtain a property similar to the button.tag property. In this property I would like to set an MCPeerID. The property must look something like:

button.thePeerID = an MCPeerID
if (button.thePeerID == a peer id)...

Unfortunately the tag property will only hold numbers. I know I have to add a new file of UIButton type and call it like this:

SubclassButton *myButton=[SubclassButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

But how do I get the desired property?

You'll set that property in your header file (subclassButton.h)

@interface SubclassButton : UIButton 

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *thePeerId;

@end

…then you can access it as you suggested above:

myButton.thePeerId = @"abcd";

(of course, the type depends on what a McPeerID actually is. adjust accordingly)
