How do I remove UIBarButtonItem glow programmatica

问题:

Unfortunately there is no showsTouchWhenHighlighted for UIBarButtonItem and I can't edit my button from the toolbar...

回答1:

The property responsible for this is accessible in the UIButton class:

myButton.showsTouchWhenHighlighted = NO;

You can access this (programmatically) in a UIBarButtonItem by assigning a UIButton to the bar button item's customView property, and configuring the button. You can do this in Interface Builder too: drag a UIButton onto a UIToolbar, and it will automatically embed it in a UIBarButtonItem for you - then look for the "Shows Touch On Highlight" checkbox under the button's settings.

Incidentally, I don't know how you're customising your buttons so feel free to ignore this, but if your button looks and behaves like a standard toolbar item then users will expect the glow effect.

EDIT:

Try this then:

UIImage* buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed: @"header.navigation.back.png"];     
UIButton *aButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[aButton setImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
aButton.frame =  CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, buttonImage.size.width/2, 32);
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:aButton];
[aButton addTarget:self action:@selector(backToPriorView) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;
[backButton release];
