UIButton highlighted background image is not showing

I have to create a layout programmatically with several buttons, I create my buttons using the following code:

let myButton = UIButton(type: .Custom)
myButton.frame = CGRectMake(100,100,100,100)
myButton.setTitle("Normal", forState: .Normal)
myButton.setTitle("Selected", forState: [.Selected,.Highlighted])
myButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "normal.png"), forState: .Normal)
myButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "selected.png"), forState: [.Selected,.Highlighted])
self.view.addSubview(myButton)

The title and image are not changing once pressed.

The same code works if I refer to a UIButton created in the Storyboard.

Is there any other property that I need to set?

Thank you

Try splitting the combined setBackgroundImage call into two:

myButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "selected.png"), forState: [.Highlighted])
myButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "selected.png"), forState: [.Selected])
