UIButton block equivalent to addTarget:action:forControlEvents: method?

Question

I looked around, but couldn\'t find this on the internet, nor anywhere in the Apple docs, so I\'m guessing it doesn\'t exist.

But is there a iOS4 blocks equivalent A

I just implemented this. It work's like a charm!

And it wasn't even hard.

typedef void (^ActionBlock)();

@interface UIBlockButton : UIButton {
    ActionBlock _actionBlock;
}

-(void) handleControlEvent:(UIControlEvents)event
                 withBlock:(ActionBlock) action;
@end

@implementation UIBlockButton

-(void) handleControlEvent:(UIControlEvents)event
                 withBlock:(ActionBlock) action
{
    _actionBlock = action;
    [self addTarget:self action:@selector(callActionBlock:) forControlEvents:event];
}

-(void) callActionBlock:(id)sender{
    _actionBlock();
}
@end
