为了以编程方式创建UIButton，我们可以在objective - c和swift中创建

斯威夫特3

let buttonSwift   = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.system) as UIButton
                      //OR 
let buttonSwift   = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom) as UIButton
//Set Frame for Button
buttonSwift.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 200, height: 100)
//Set title for button
buttonSwift.setTitle("ClickMe", for: .normal)
//If you want to set color for button title
buttonSwift.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)
//If you want to set Background color for button
buttonSwift.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
//If you want to set tag for button
buttonSwift.tag = 0
//If you want to add or set image for button
let image = UIImage(named: "YourImageName") as UIImage?
buttonSwift.setImage(image, for: .normal)
//If you want to add or set Background image for button
buttonSwift.setBackgroundImage(image, for: .normal)
//Add action for button
buttonSwift.addTarget(self, action: #selector(actionPressMe), for:.touchUpInside)
//Add button as SubView to Super View
self.view.addSubview(buttonSwift)

UIButton动作方法

func actionPressMe(sender: UIButton!) 
{
    NSLog("Clicked button tag is %@", sender.tag)
               OR
    print("Clicked button tag is \(sender.tag)")

    //Then do whatever you want to do here

    ........  
}

OBJECTIVE - C

UIButton *buttonObjectiveC = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
           OR
UIButton *buttonObjectiveC = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
buttonObjectiveC.frame = CGRectMake(200, 100, 200, 100);
//Set title for button
[buttonObjectiveC setTitle:@"ClickMe" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//If you want to set color for button title
[buttonObjectiveC setTitleColor:[UIColor  whiteColor] forState: UIControlStateNormal];
//If you want to set Background color for button
[buttonObjectiveC setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
//If you want to set tag for button
buttonSwift.tag = 0;
//If you want to add or set image for button
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"YourImageName"];
[buttonObjectiveC setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//If you want to add or set Background image for button
[buttonObjectiveC setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//Add action for button
[buttonObjectiveC addTarget:self action:@selector(actionPressMe:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
//Add button as SubView to Super View
[self.view addSubview:buttonObjectiveC];

UIButton动作方法

- (void)actionPressMe:(UIButton *)sender 
{
    NSLog(@"Clicked button tag is %@",sender.tag);
    //Then do whatever you want to do here
    ..........
}

从Swift 3开始，语法有了一些变化。

以下是如何创建Swift 3的基本按钮:

    let button = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.system) as UIButton
    button.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 50)
    button.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
    button.setTitle("Example Button", for: UIControlState.normal)
    self.view.addSubview(button)

以下是Swift自以前版本以来所做的更改:

let button = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.System) as UIButton

// system no longer capitalised

button.frame = CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 50)

// CGRectMake has been removed as of Swift 3

button.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()

// greenColor replaced with green

button.setTitle("Example Button", forState: UIControlState.Normal)

// normal is no longer capitalised

self.view.addSubview(button)

-(UIButton *)addButton:(NSString *)title :(CGRect)frame : (SEL)selector :(UIImage *)image :(int)tag{

UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
btn.frame = frame;
[btn addTarget:self action:selector forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btn setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btn.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
btn.tag = tag;

return btn;

}

你可以把它添加到视图中:

[self.view addSubview:[self addButton:nil :self.view.frame :@selector(btnAction:) :[UIImage imageNamed:@"img.png"] :1]];

对于Swift 3(更短的代码)

let button = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.custom)
button.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200.0, height: 40.0)
button.addTarget(nil, action: #selector(tapButton(_:)), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)
button.tintColor = UIColor.white
button.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
button.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "ImageName"), for: UIControlState.normal)
button.setTitle("MyTitle", for: UIControlState.normal)
button.isEnabled = true

func tapButton(sender: UIButton) {

}
