Why dont you use a round image ? – Buckbuckaroo

Answer 1

Simply by doing this

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
myButton.layer.cornerRadius = 8;

Caseose

also add myButton.clipsToBounds = YES; – Dade

@Dade Thanks for the clipToBound hint. That was the missing link. When using storyboards, mark "Clip Subviews" (and add layer.cornerRadius to Runtime Attributes). – Millesimal

@Millesimal I didn't know about the storyboard trick! Well, you learn things every day.....Thanks! – Dade

Tested Code:

.h

    -(void)vijayWithApple; 

.m

   -(void)vijayWithApple{

            NSLog(@"vijayWithApple Called");
   }


UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Micky.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[button addTarget:self action:@selector(vijayWithApple) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

[button setTitle:@"Show View" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

button.frame = CGRectMake(135.0, 180.0, 40.0, 40.0);//width and height should be same value

button.clipsToBounds = YES;

button.layer.cornerRadius = 20;//half of the width

button.layer.borderColor=[UIColor redColor].CGColor;

button.layer.borderWidth=2.0f;

[self.view addSubview:button];

Best solution I have found especially for UITableCell. I put the code in awakeFromNib and worked right off the bat.
