API没有改变——只有语法改变了。你可以创建一个UIButton并像这样添加它:

var button = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50))
self.view.addSubview(button) // assuming you're in a view controller

在Swift 4.2中编写下面的示例代码，用于以编程方式添加按钮。

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
        let myButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 50))
        myButton.backgroundColor = .green
        myButton.setTitle("Hello UIButton", for: .normal)
        myButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(myButtonAction), for: .touchUpInside)
        self.view.addSubview(myButton)
}

 @objc func myButtonAction(sender: UIButton!) {
    print("My Button tapped")
}

            let myFirstButton = UIButton()
            myFirstButton.setTitle("Software Button", forState: .Normal)
            myFirstButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.redColor(), forState: .Normal)
            myFirstButton.frame = CGRectMake(100, 300, 150, 50)
            myFirstButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.purpleColor()
            myFirstButton.layer.cornerRadius = 14
            myFirstButton.addTarget(self, action: "pressed:", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
            self.view.addSubview(myFirstButton)
            myFirstButton.hidden=true
            nameText.delegate = self


func pressed(sender: UIButton!) {
        var alertView = UIAlertView()
        alertView.addButtonWithTitle("Ok")
        alertView.title = "title"
        alertView.message = "message"
        alertView.show();
    }

Swift:以编程方式创建Ui按钮

let myButton = UIButton()

myButton.titleLabel!.frame = CGRectMake(15, 54, 300, 500)
myButton.titleLabel!.text = "Button Label"
myButton.titleLabel!.textColor = UIColor.redColor()
myButton.titleLabel!.textAlignment = .Center
self.view.addSubview(myButton)

从storyboard创建UIButton: 1 -将UIButton对象从对象库拖到storyboard文件中的ViewController 2 -节目助理编辑 3 -从上面创建的UIButton中右键拖动到你的类中。结果如下:

@IBAction func buttonActionFromStoryboard(sender: UIButton)
{
    println("Button Action From Storyboard")
}

为创建UIButton编程: 1-写入“override func viewDidLoad()”：

        let uiButton    = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.System) as UIButton
        uiButton.frame  = CGRectMake(16, 116, 288, 30)
        uiButton.setTitle("Second", forState: UIControlState.Normal);
        uiButton.addTarget(self, action: "buttonActionFromCode:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
        self.view.addSubview(uiButton)

2-添加IBAction功能:

@IBAction func buttonActionFromCode(sender:UIButton)
{
    println("Button Action From Code")
}

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    var imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRectMake(100, 150, 150, 150));
    var image = UIImage(named: "BattleMapSplashScreen.png");
    imageView.image = image;
    self.view.addSubview(imageView);

}
