UIView+TouchHighlighting & MTCompoundButton

UIView+TouchHighlighting is a UIView category that provides a generic touch highlighting solution.

Usage

The category provides the following enum for highlighting a view.

NS_ENUM(NSInteger, MTHighlightingStyle) {
    MTHighlightingStyleNone,
    MTHighlightingStyleTransparentMask,
    MTHighlightingStyleLightBackground,
    MTHighlightingStyleSolidDarkOverlay,
    MTHighlightingStyleHollowDarkOverlay,
}

• MTHighlightingStyleTransparentMask introduces a transparent mask layer on touch.

• MTHighlightingStyleLightBackground introduces a light transparent background on touch.

• MTHighlightingStyleSolidDarkOverlay introduces a rectangular dark overlay layer on touch.

• MTHighlightingStyleHollowDarkOverlay introduces a dark overlay layer masked with view contents on touch.

Touch highlighting can be enabled on any view by setting touchHighlightingStyle property to desired value as follows.

  buttonView.touchHighlightingStyle = MTHighlightingStyleTransparentMask;

To disable touch highlighting, set the property to MTHighlightingStyleNone as follows.

  buttonView.touchHighlightingStyle = MTHighlightingStyleNone;

MTCompoundButton

MTCompoundButton can be used to convert a collection of multiple views into a button. Just make the superview inherit from MTCompoundButton and set the touchHighlightingStyle property as explained above. With this, normal views can be made to look and behave like a native UIButton.
