UIButton addTarget:action:forControlEvents: not working using itself as a target?

Question

There is a subclass of UIButton , is it possible to add a target for the button using the button itself? For example

[self addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:forEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Answer 1

Yes, simply change this:

[self addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:forEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

To this:

[MyButton addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:forEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Answer 2

Its not working bcoz you are adding self as target. You need to add Your ViewController as target on which you button is added.

[self addTarget:viewController action:@selector(onClick:forEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
