I had a similar problem where I wanted a button to keep it's highlight after click. The problem is if you try to use setHighlighted:YES inside of you click action it will reset right after you click action, - (IBAction)checkInButtonPushed

I solved this by using a NSTimer like this

NSTimer *timer;
timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 0.01
                                         target: self
                                       selector: @selector(selectCurrentIndex)
                                       userInfo: nil
                                        repeats: NO];

and then call setHighlighted:YES from my selectCurrentIndex method. I use regular UIButtonTypeRoundedRect buttons.
