# UIControl.State

Constants describing the state of a control.

## Declaration

```swift
struct State
```

## Overview

Overview A control can have more than one state at a time. Controls can have different configurations according to their state. For example, a UIButton object can display one image when it’s in its normal state and a different image when it’s highlighted.
