Styling the cancel button in a UISearchBar

Question

I have a UISearchBar that has a cancel button (it\'s displayed using -(void)setShowsCancelButton:animated). I\'ve changed the tintColor of the sear

Answer 1

You can find the cancel button by looping through the subviews of the search bar and checking for the class type (instead of the size):

UIButton *cancelButton = nil;
for(UIView *subView in yourSearchBar.subviews){
    if([subView isKindOfClass:UIButton.class]){
    cancelButton = (UIButton*)subView;
    }
}

And then change the tint color:

[cancelButton setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:145.0/255.0 green:159.0/255.0 blue:179.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
