Hey jowi,
The easiest solution I can think of is to extend an UIView and override the
TouchesBegan and TouchesEnded methods. Using UIButton (and their Touch*
events) is for buttons with text only AFAIK. So, here's what you do:
public class RemoteControlButton : UIView {
public RemoteControlButton(UIImage up, UIImage down) : base() {
AddSubview(new UIImageView(up));
AddSubview(new UIImageView(down));
// Assume both images are the same size:
Frame = new RectangleF(new PointF(0, 0), up.Size);
}
public override void TouchesBegan(NSSet touches, UIEvent evt) {
base.TouchesBegan(touches, evt);
ExchangeSubview(0, 1);
}
public override void TouchesEnded(NSSet touches, UIEvent evt) {
base.TouchesEnded(touches, evt);
ExchangeSubview(0, 1);
}
}
And then add it to your UIView or UIViewController (override ViewDidLoad)
like this:
View.AddSubview(new RemoteControlButton(UIImage.FromFile("PATH1"),
UIImage.FromFile("PATH2")));
And to answer you second question; Give http://iconfinder.com a go.
Hope this helps.
