How to round the corners of a button

I have a rectangle image (jpg) and want to use it to fill the background of a button with rounded corner in xcode.

I wrote the following:

UIButton *button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect] retain];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(x, y, cardWidth, cardHeight);
button.frame = frame;
[button setBackgroundImage:backImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

However, the button I get with that approach doesn't have its corners rounded: it is instead a plain rectangle that looks exactly like my original image. How can I get instead an image with rounded corner to represent my button?

Thanks!

I tried the following solution with the UITextArea and I expect this will work with UIButton as well.

First of all import this in your .m file -

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

and then in your loadView method add following lines

    yourButton.layer.cornerRadius = 10; // this value vary as per your desire
    yourButton.clipsToBounds = YES;

You can achieve by this RunTime Attributes

we can make custom button.just see screenshot attached.

kindly pay attention :

in runtime attributes to change color of border follow this instruction

1. create category class of CALayer

2. in h file

   @property(nonatomic, assign) UIColor* borderIBColor;
   

3. in m file:

   -(void)setBorderIBColor:(UIColor*)color {
       self.borderColor = color.CGColor;
   }
   
   -(UIColor*)borderIBColor {
       return [UIColor colorWithCGColor:self.borderColor];
   }
   

now onwards to set border color check screenshot

thanks
