Because the proper way to set the text of a UIButton is setTitle:forState:

Looking at the documentation, it looks like "button.titleLabel.text" is for querying what the title happens to be at the time (without knowing the state).

I'm having a ridiculous amount of trouble changing the text of a UIButton title. I have the button connected to the file's owner (a UIViewController) in IB, and I've defined this property:

    @property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIButton *button;

The button's action method works, so I know the connections are OK. I put this in the controller's viewWillAppear: method:

    self.button.titleLabel.text = @"Why won't this work?";

and the button remains blank. (No text is set for the button in IB.) I've put an NSLog in the viewWillAppear: method, so I know it's being called.

Why won't this work?
