Swift 3

let button: UIButton = UIButton()
button.frame = CGRect.init(x: view.frame.width/2, y: view.frame.height/2, width: 100, height: 100)
button.setTitle(“Title Button”, for: .normal)

Answer 4

Changing title when attributed is a bit different :

I just ran into a problem : If you have an UIButton with an Attributed Title, you have to use :

my_btn.setAttributedTitle(NSAttributedString(string: my_title), for: my_state)

as, per Apple SetTitle Doc :

If you set both a title and an attributed title for the button, the button prefers the use of the attributed title over this one.

I had an attributed title and I tried to setTitle on it, with no effect...

Answer 5

To set a title for a button in Xcode using swift - 04: first create a method called setTitle with parameter title and UIController state like below ;

func setTitle(_ title : String?, for state : UIControl.State)   {

}

and recall this method in your button action method like ;

yourButtonName.setTitle("String", for: .state)

Answer 6

Swift 3:

Set button title:

//for normal state:
my_btn.setTitle("Button Title", for: .normal)

// For highlighted state:
my_btn.setTitle("Button Title2", for: .highlighted)
