Select "Custom" as the button's type in the inspector. However, I would recommend against such design unless it's really necessary because if a button doesn't look like a button it may be confusing to your users.

I am not a iOS developer. I am working on designing GUI for an iOS application to be developed using Appcelerator Titanium.
As far as all the other buttons are concerned, they can be provided with a .png image to style them. But this one type of button which has dynamic text, and thus can have width of various sizes as shown in the image below.
The screenshot is from Instagram iOS app. It shows the button in navigation bar named Camera which is the name of the folder from which image being cropped resides. In the app I'm designing for has a button with same functionality.
I just want to know whether it is possible to add custom styling for this particular type of button.
Thanks.
yes you can create a button and set the backgroundImage for the button to be whatever you want
http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Button
third paragraph
You can specify background images for each state, as well as button text and a button icon. On iOS, there are button styles which define appearance for each state, even if no button images are set.

Simple answer: yes you can add custom styling to this button. As for the varying width, the background image will stretch to fill it.
Generally when the key board is visible some apps display a view on the top of keyboard with buttons like Done, Auto fill, .. etc
My Question is :
Is this provided by Apple or We have to create and use it.
Thank You in advance
The answer is somewhere in the middle. You do have to create it yourself, but Apple provides support for it. See Programmatically align a toolbar on top of the iPhone keyboard
If I want an image on my UIButton, and I still want to use the default white button. Is it ok to add an image(icon) over some parts of the button?
I have a button with the text 'Show on map' and I want a icon to the right.
Is this the only approach or are there other possibilities? When I add an icon over the button some parts of the button won't be "clickable".
Thanks in advance.
you could create a custom button that has an image the 'icon' and then the rest is transparent and then overlay this button over the standard one and give them the same action.
An easier way would just to be create an image that is the button exactly as you want it and use the 'custom button' style and use this as the backgroundImage.
How can i display combo box like the one you see in the image (Birthday combobox) on this site:
http://www.edumobile.org/iphone/iphone-programming-tutorials/how-to-use-picker-in-iphone/
Is it UITextField or UIButton... How can i create such control?
I think it's a custom button with image that looks like combobox. pressing it opens probably a date picker. You need an image that looks like combobox and to customize your table cell appearance - add a button as accessory view or create a custom cell in IB
You are referring to the screenshot at the top of the article ?
To me it looks like the app is either a WebView or has manually created button image ... to my knowledge there is no native Combo buttons in the UIKit.
Sorry to share the bad news.
Good Luck
i am new to iPhone programming...
can any body help me out please...
in my app i am displaying an image, transparent html page with text about that image and there is audio instead of html text...
in the bottom tool bar i have button 'VIEW".. i want this button to show the 3 (radio or normal) buttons in a list like drop up list(for enable/disable the bgimage, audio, text)...
How to display the list of buttons when i click on VIEW button...
Thank u
iPhone does not have a build in radio list. You need to implement your custom view to make one. You may try to inherit table view to create a selection list. And for the on / off part, you can try UISwitch.
