I believe keys in an NSDictionary/NSMutableDictionary are NSStrings; they're just descriptive tags you attach (or associate) with an object (the "value"). What you need is

[sourceButtonMap setObject:[NSString stringWithString:@"no"] forKey: [unitButton description]];

though you'll have to subclass UIButton and implement a description method in it for this to do much good.

Hi all,

I'm new to Cocoa, and I couldn't find information about an error that I'm getting on the web. I'm trying to create an NSMutableDictionary where the keys are of type UIButton*:


// create button for unit
UIButton* unitButton = [[UIButton alloc] init];
[sourceButtonMap setObject:[NSString stringWithString:@"no"] forKey:unitButton];


Of course, the sourceButtonMap is defined in the class and initialized in the init function as sourceButtonMap = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

The error I get when I try to add the key-value pair is:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[UIButton copyWithZone:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3931e90'

Is this happening because I can't store UIButton* as keys?
Can anyone point me why I'm getting this error? Thank you all,
