Disable UIButton highlighting in Storyboard and Swift 2

Question

I am trying to disable Highlighting on a UIButton setup in Storyboard. I am using Swift on Xcode 7.1. I have the button set to Custom, and I have tried everything I can think of, and it is still highlighting. Here is another question for Objective-C, and I have tried everything on it, even the Storyboard image name white space idea.

The button is hooked up correctly.

How do you disable highlighting? Is it a bug in Xcode?

Answer 1

I guess you mean you don't want the button to appear to change when it's tapped. One way to do it is by creating a subclass of UIButton that refuses to become highlighted:

class NonHighlightingButton: UIButton {
    override var highlighted: Bool {
        set { }
        get { return super.highlighted }
    }
}

Then, in your storyboard, set the custom class of your button to NonHighlightingButton :
