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

Answer 1

I created a library to do just this!

It supports UIControl (UIButton), UIBarButtonItem, and UIGestureRecognizer. It is also supported using CocoaPods.

https://github.com/lavoy/ALActionBlocks

// Assuming you have a UIButton named 'button'
[button handleControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside withBlock:^(id weakControl) {
    NSLog(@"button pressed");
}];

Install

pod 'ALActionBlocks'
