# imageView

The button’s image view.

## Declaration

```swift
var imageView: UIImageView? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Although this property is read-only, its own properties are read/write. Use these properties to configure the appearance and behavior of the button’s view. For example: UIButton *button                   = [UIButton buttonWithType: UIButtonTypeSystem]; button.imageView.exclusiveTouch    = YES; The imageView property returns a value even if the button has not been displayed yet. The value of the property is nil for system buttons.
