UIButton will not support setTextAlignment. So You need to go with setContentHorizontalAlignment for button text alignment

For your reference

[buttonName setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter];

Use the line   myButton contentHorizontalAlignment   UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter    This should center the content  horizontally    And if you want to set the text inside the label to the center as well  use    labelOne setTextAlignment UITextAlignmentCenter    If you want to use IB  I ve got a small example here which is linked in XCode 4 but should provide enough detail  also mind  on top of that properties screen it shows the property tab  You can find the same tabs in XCode 3 x
