Highlighted Multiple UIImageView on UIButton

Question

Based on this: Several images on one UIButton

I can add images on UIButton, but I can't show the highlighted state UIImageView inside the UIButton.

Have set the highlighted image as follows:

imageOneOnButton.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"option-unchecked"];
imageOneOnButton.highlightedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"option-checked"];

imageTwoOnButton.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"option-unchecked"];
imageTwoOnButton.highlightedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"option-checked"];

Unfortunately on its action:

sender.highlighted = YES // or NO doesn't work
sender.imageView.highlighted = YES // or NO doesn't work as well

Is there any way that I can simulate this,

[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"option-unchecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"option-unchecked"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

button.highlighted = YES // or NO <-- works!

using my approach?

So you have two image views inside one button? You may need to subclass your button and override its `setHighlighted:` setter to call `setHighlighted:` on each of its imageviews. The reason `sender.imageView.highlighted = YES` isn't working is because (I assume) that neither imageview is associated with the button's built-in `.imageView` property. — user2320861, Apr 07 '15 at 15:49
