Is there a way to get s

Answer 1

You can create an outlet for your buttons and then implement:

@IBAction func mainButton(sender: UIButton) {
    switch sender {
    case yourbuttonname:
        // do something
    case anotherbuttonname:
        // do something else
    default: println(sender)
    }
}

Answer 2

You have to set tag value to what you need and access it with

sender.tag

Answer 3

You can do like this, just you have to give tag to all the buttons and do like this:

@IBAction func mainButton(sender: AnyObject)
    {
        switch sender.tag {
        case 1:
            println("do something when first button is tapped")
        case 2:
            println("do something when second button is tapped")
        case 3:
            println("do something when third button is tapped")

        default:
            println("default")
        }

    }

Answer 4

Select your first button and give it tag 0, and select second button and give it tag 1 and so on, in action check the tag bit and perform you functionalities on the basis of tag bit.:

Answer 5

You can set a tag in the storyboard for each of the buttons. Then you can identify them this way:

@IBAction func mainButton(sender: UIButton) {
    println(sender.tag)
}

EDIT: For more readability you can define an enum with values that correspond to the selected tag. So if you set tags like 0, 1, 2 for your buttons, above your class declaration you can do something like this:

enum SelectedButtonTag: Int {
    case First
    case Second
    case Third
}

And then instead of handling hardcoded values you will have:

@IBAction func mainButton(sender: UIButton) {
    switch sender.tag {
        case SelectedButtonTag.First.rawValue:
            println("do something when first button is tapped")
        case SelectedButtonTag.Second.rawValue:
            println("do something when second button is tapped")
        case SelectedButtonTag.Third.rawValue:                       
            println("do something when third button is tapped")
        default:
            println("default")
    }
}

Swift 4

add tag on button

let button = UIButton()
button.tag = 10

click event

@IBAction func mainButton(sender: UIButton) {
    switch sender.tag {

    case 10:
        print("10")
    case 11:
        print("11")

    default:
         print("yes")
    }
}

happy coding :)
