iOS IBAction question

[alexandergre]

How can I get the name of the button instead of its title?
ex: if you click on button1 they log will be "button1"

thanx!

.h

IBOutlet UIButton *button1, *button2,*button3,*button4,*button5,*button6,*button7,*button8;
-(IBAction)tapped:(id)sender;

.m

-(IBAction)tapped:(id)sender{

	NSString *buttonNumber = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
	NSLog(@"%s",buttonNumber);
	
}

if (sender == button1)
    NSLog(@"button1");
else if (sender == button2)
    ...etc...

 

[alexandergre]

if (sender == button1)
    NSLog(@"button1");
else if (sender == button2)
    ...etc...

thanx. works but it takes some time since I have 24 buttons.

Sheesh! There's got to be a better way...

Well if you have 24 buttons, I believe you can use IB to set a tag for each button, although I don't have it installed at the moment. Then you can use sender.tag to more easily identify each button.
