UIButton of type UIButtonTypeCustom will not display Title (iPhone)

I must have overlooked something completely obvious?? but my button displays its image and size correctly, but I simply can't get the Title to show up.

I did a really simple test, the Title does not even show up when I do this:

    CGRect frameBtn = CGRectMake(160开发者_StackOverflow中文版.0f, 150.0f, 144.0f, 42.0f);
    UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"left_halfscreen_button.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [button setTitle:@"Hello" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [button setFrame:frameBtn];
    NSLog(@"Title:%@", [button currentTitle]);
    //prints "Title:Hello
    [self addSubview:button];

I have a factory class that generates custom buttons for me and I thought I messed some detail up there, so I moved the above code directly into my UIView, the title is still blank.

Is this a bug or am I simply missing something right in front of my eyes.

Thank you for the extra set of eyes:)

Image overrides title, you need to make the image a background image to show the title.

[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"left_halfscreen_button.png"] 
        forState:UIControlStateNormal];

I just hab spome quite similar problem... Just set the title color, I guess the current one is white ;)

[button setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

I found the problem!

It's not Image overriding the title. It is being push off frame by the image.

Try use this:

[btn setTitleEdgeInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, -img.size.width, 0.0, 0.0 )];

Hope it helps!

When you use UIButton, button uses some built-in size for its frame.

You should set the frame:

button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);

or even better and comfortable:

[button sizeToFit];

I had a similar problem that the title was not shown. I forgot to set the frame property:

//set the position of the button
button.frame = CGRectMake(100, 170, 100, 30);
