// Only override drawRect: if you perform custom drawing.
// An empty implementation adversely affects performance during animation.
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
CGRect textRect = self.titleLabel.frame;

// need to put the line at top of descenders (negative value)
CGFloat descender = self.titleLabel.font.descender;

CGContextRef contextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
UIColor *colr;
// set to same colour as text
if (self.isHighlighted || self.isSelected) {
    colr=self.titleLabel.highlightedTextColor;
}
else{
    colr= self.titleLabel.textColor;
}
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(contextRef, colr.CGColor);

CGContextMoveToPoint(contextRef, textRect.origin.x, textRect.origin.y +        textRect.size.height + descender);

CGContextAddLineToPoint(contextRef, textRect.origin.x + textRect.size.width, textRect.origin.y + textRect.size.height + descender);

CGContextClosePath(contextRef);

CGContextDrawPath(contextRef, kCGPathStroke);
}
//Override this to change the underline color to highlighted color
-(void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted
{
[super setHighlighted:highlighted];
// [self setNeedsDisplay];
}
