iPhone Button Styles

Question

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I'd like to confirm a few things that I have inferred from reading some other posts:

The iPhone button styles only work if you use them in a button or navigation bar (e.g. not in the body of a view).
The only real way to style a button is via a background image?
A simple button will show up as just a white area with a border?

Thanks.

True, they only work when you attach the button directly to the nav bar via:
```
win.rightNavButton = myButton;
```
the only "real" way? Meh, not necessarily. There are plenty of properties on the button object, and if you want to customize a button you are attaching to a nav you can do this (might be a hack?):
```
var refresh = Ti.UI.createButton({
    image:'refresh.png',
    style: Ti.UI.iPhone.SystemButton.ADD
});
```
That will give you the predefined button, but with your own image. You can adjust with using a title/text instead of an image, and even different button styles.
True.
