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 *btnname = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

[btnname setTitle:@"Click Me" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

btnname.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 140);

[self.view addSubview:btnname];

如果愿意，可以将创建者实例放入循环中，并从数组中动态添加名称。

UIButton *saveLibrary=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

[saveLibrary setTitle:@"Library" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[saveLibrary setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

[saveLibrary addTarget:self 
action:@selector(saveOnGalleryButtonIsPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

[saveLibrary setImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByAppendingString:@"/library225.png"]]forState:UIControlStateNormal];

saveLibrary.frame=CGRectMake(323, 15, 75, 75);  

[self.view addSubview:saveLibrary];
