UIButton NSString CGRect

[wardyfloyd]

Is it possible to put a UIButton into an NSString and then use CGRectMake to define its x,y,h,w? all my attempts have ended in errors.

Putting a UIButton into an NSString makes no sense. What are you trying to accomplish?

[wardyfloyd]

Basically, I need, based on earlier decisions made in the program, for different buttons to be loaded up in the same places. so I have actions that load different buttons into the same nsstrings based on these decisions.

You don't load buttons into strings. I'm still not understanding what you are trying to accomplish.

[wardyfloyd]

basically, instead of having lots and lots of different buttons, I want to be able to organize my buttons really simply. I thought NSString could do that. clearly i was mistaken.

If the different buttons are in the same place, do you actually need separate buttons? Most aspects of a button - text, image, action, etc - can be changed as needed.

I just don't get why your initial approach was NSString. What would the string even look like?
