Getting title of UIButton in event handler

Question

I create a button and set title as \"Click here\". When I press that button I want to get that button title and log it. Here\'s my code, where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

I know it's a bit of an old question, but this is probably the neatest way to resolve this one.

NSLog(@"The button title is: %@", [sender currentTitle]);        

Edit
I've just realised that this is depending on the fact that you have set the receiving parameter to UIButton*. Rather than using the default id, creating a UIButton object and casting (id)sender to that button. Cut out the middle man and just set the function signature to

-(void)buttonPressed:(UIButton*)sender{
  NSLog(@"Button title: %@",sender.currentTitle);
}  

This is effectively casting the function parameter
