Use iPhone System button styles in simple view

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

Is it possible to use the iPhone System Button styles in a regular view, other than let's say a toolbar of some kind?

This works and the button shows up nicely: 

var myButton = Titanium.UI.createButton({
    title          : 'Hello World',
    top            : 7,
    left           : 5,
    height         : 25,
    width          : 60,
    backgroundColor: '#000'
});
myView.add(myButton);
While in this case the button doesn't show up at all: 
var myButton = Titanium.UI.createButton({
    title          : 'Hello World',
    top            : 7,
    left           : 5,
    height         : 25,
    width          : 60,
    backgroundColor: '#000',
    style          : Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BORDERED
});
myView.add(myButton);
Cheers!

System buttons (and formats) are only allowed in toolbars and navbars (unless someone has any tricks). You can do a custom button. This is a forced design of IOS I believe. Search for systembutton in the API reference to see this confirmed.

Hi there,

I'm not certain, but if not you could create a graphic of the appropriate button-type.

I see from the docs there are also 'backgroundDisabledImage' and 'backgroundSelectedImage' to help mimic various states - depending on the button and how it's being used.

cheers, Chris.
