# How to set UIButton state in iOS

I have created a UIButton on our [iPhone app](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/208914/4life-innovations-is-bracing-up-to-acquire-ios-13-for-iphone-app-development), [now](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81402/it-s-liberals-vs-progressives-in-us-politics-now) I want to manually change the [button](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/63/how-to-add-button-in-datagridview-in-csharp-dot-net) state.\
I read the UIButton [documentation](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/30462/what-is-documentation) but I can't seem to find anything about manually setting a UIButton state.\
Any help would be appreciated.

We can set UIButton state by mannually.\
use code like this:\

```
UIButton *myButton=[UIButton buttonWithType : UIButtonTypeCustom];if(myButton isselected]){    myButton.selected=FALSE;}else{    myButton.selected=TRUE;}
```

Now, we can do operation on UIButton as requirement, like executing some action when button is selected and while not selected.\
