How do I change the UISearchbar cancel button's text color

Question

I have a UISearchBar as seen below. How can I change the text color for the cancel button?

Answer 1

You can take advantage of the iOS Runtime Property _cancelButton to achieve this.

UIButton *cancelButton = [searchBar valueForKey:@"_cancelButton"];
[cancelButton setTitleColor:[UIColor yourColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
