keeping a UIButton pressed(state selected/highlighted),until another button is pressed?

Question

I have 3 buttons at the bottom of my view controller, btn1 btn2 btn3, I\'m using them instead of the tab bar as it is not possible to entirely customize a tab bar as per my requ

Answer 1

Here's what I did:

1. Link all 3 buttons to the following action method
2. Create array of all 3 buttons
3. Set the button that invoked the method to selected

4. Set the other 2 buttons to not selected

   - (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
   {
       NSArray* buttons = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:btn1, btn2, btn3, nil];
       for (UIButton* button in buttons) {
           if (button == sender) {
               button.selected = YES;
           }
           else {
               button.selected = NO;
           }
       }
   }
   

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
