Questions tagged [uibarbuttonitem]

UIBarButtonItem is a button specialized for placement on a UIToolbar or UINavigationBar object. It inherits basic button behavior from its abstract superclass, UIBarItem. The UIBarButtonItem defines additional initialisation methods and properties for use on toolbars and navigation bars. There are some methods for customizing Appearance. Available in iOS 2.0 and later in UIKit.

A bar button item is a button specialized for placement on a UIToolbar or UINavigationBar objects. It inherits basic button behavior from its abstract superclass, UIBarItem. The UIBarButtonItem defines additional initialization methods and properties for use on toolbars and navigation bars.

iOS includes a number of system-provided items with specific icons, but developers can create custom items as well.

Note: UIBarButtonItem is not a descendent of UIView, so many common tasks like applying animations or transforms can be more difficult than you might expect.

How do you set the font size on a UIBarButtonItem?

I can't find a way to set the font size of the title in a custom UIBarButtonItem. The only way I can think of getting around this is to set it as an image, which I would like to avoid. Any other suggestions?
