在Swift中，你可以重写高亮显示(或选中)属性的访问器，而不是重写setHighlighted方法

override var highlighted: Bool {
        get {
            return super.highlighted
        }
        set {
            if newValue {
                backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
            }
            else {
                backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
            }
            super.highlighted = newValue
        }
    }

下面是Swift中选择按钮状态的代码:

func imageWithColor(color:UIColor) -> UIImage {
    let rect:CGRect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0)
     UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size)
    let context:CGContextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
    CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, color.CGColor)
    CGContextFillRect(context, rect)
    let image:UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    return image;
}

例子:

    self.button.setImage(self.imageWithColor(UIColor.blackColor()), forState: .Highlighted)

不确定这是否解决了你所追求的问题，或者是否符合你的总体开发环境，但我想尝试的第一件事是改变触地事件按钮的背景颜色。

选项1:

你需要捕捉两个事件，当用户按下按钮时UIControlEventTouchDown。UIControlEventTouchUpInside和UIControlEventTouchUpOutside将用于当它们释放按钮以返回正常状态时

UIButton *myButton =  [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[myButton setFrame:CGRectMake(10.0f, 10.0f, 100.0f, 20.f)];
[myButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[myButton setTitle:@"click me:" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[myButton setTitle:@"changed" forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonHighlight:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
[myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonNormal:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

选项2:

返回你想要的高亮颜色的图像。这也可以是一个类别。

+ (UIImage *)imageWithColor:(UIColor *)color {
   CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
   UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size);
   CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

   CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [color CGColor]);
   CGContextFillRect(context, rect);

   UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
   UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

   return image;
}

然后更改按钮的高亮显示状态:

[myButton setBackgroundImage:[self imageWithColor:[UIColor greenColor]] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

更新:

使用UIButtonBackgroundColor Swift库。

OLD:

使用下面的帮助工具创建一个1px x 1px的图像，灰度填充颜色:

UIImage *image = ACUTilingImageGray(248/255.0, 1);

或RGB填充颜色:

UIImage *image = ACUTilingImageRGB(253/255.0, 123/255.0, 43/255.0, 1);

然后，使用该图像设置按钮的背景图像:

[button setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];

助手

#pragma mark - Helpers

UIImage *ACUTilingImageGray(CGFloat gray, CGFloat alpha)
{
    return ACUTilingImage(alpha, ^(CGContextRef context) {
        CGContextSetGrayFillColor(context, gray, alpha);
    });
}

UIImage *ACUTilingImageRGB(CGFloat red, CGFloat green, CGFloat blue, CGFloat alpha)
{
    return ACUTilingImage(alpha, ^(CGContextRef context) {
        CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, red, green, blue, alpha);
    });
}

UIImage *ACUTilingImage(CGFloat alpha, void (^setFillColor)(CGContextRef context))
{
    CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 0.5, 0.5);
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, alpha == 1, 0);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    setFillColor(context);
    CGContextFillRect(context, rect);
    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return image;
}

注意:ACU是我的Cocoa Touch静态库称为Acani Utilities的类前缀，其中AC是Acani, U是Utilities。

重写突出显示的变量。 添加@IBInspectable可以让你在故事板中编辑突出显示的backgroundColor，这也很漂亮。

class BackgroundHighlightedButton: UIButton {
    @IBInspectable var highlightedBackgroundColor :UIColor?
    @IBInspectable var nonHighlightedBackgroundColor :UIColor?
    override var highlighted :Bool {
        get {
            return super.highlighted
        }
        set {
            if newValue {
                self.backgroundColor = highlightedBackgroundColor
            }
            else {
                self.backgroundColor = nonHighlightedBackgroundColor
            }
            super.highlighted = newValue
        }
    }
}

子类化UIButton并添加可检查的属性以方便使用(在Swift 3.0中编写):

final class SelectableBackgroundButton: UIButton {

    private struct Constants {
        static let animationDuration: NSTimeInterval = 0.1
    }

    @IBInspectable
    var animatedColorChange: Bool = true

    @IBInspectable
    var selectedBgColor: UIColor = UIColor.blackColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.2)

    @IBInspectable
    var normalBgColor: UIColor = UIColor.clearColor()

    override var selected: Bool {
        didSet {
            if animatedColorChange {
                UIView.animateWithDuration(Constants.animationDuration) {
                    self.backgroundColor = self.selected ? self.selectedBgColor : self.normalBgColor
                }
            } else {
                self.backgroundColor = selected ? selectedBgColor : normalBgColor
            }
        }
    }

    override var highlighted: Bool {
        didSet {
            if animatedColorChange {
                UIView.animateWithDuration(Constants.animationDuration) {
                    self.backgroundColor = self.highlighted ? self.selectedBgColor : self.normalBgColor
                }
            } else {
                self.backgroundColor = highlighted ? selectedBgColor : normalBgColor
            }
        }
    }
}
