Multi tool use

Make UIButton accessible in Interface Builder

I'm working on a little project which adds a little bar on the bottom of the screen, similar to UITabBar (see screenshot below). It's an @IBDesignable class. The blue boxes you can see are buttons with placeholder images. Now my question is, can I somehow open up these buttons to the IB as well? Like when I click one of the boxes I get the attribute inspector for that specific button?
Thanks in advance

UITabBar

@IBDesignable

Sorry I miss understood the question. No you can't have a UIButton as an attribute in the interface builder. I believe @IBInspectable only supports a certain group of types.

These are the types that I know, maybe there are more types.

However, you can do something like the example below and apply that to other properties:

@IBDesignable class CustomTabBar: UITabBar {
var button1: CustomButton!
var button2: CustomButton!
var button3: CustomButton!

@IBInspectable var button1Title: String? {
get {
return button1.titleLabel?.text
} set {
button1.setTitle(newValue, for: .normal)
}
}
}
