Remarks

UIBarButtonItems are special buttons designed to be placed in either a UIToolbar or a UINavigationBar. They show either a title or an image and change their appearance when pressed. UIBarButtonItems can also be set to a number of system provided button styles available in the UIBarButtonSystemItem enumeration.

In iOS 11, the layout strategy for UIBarButtonItem objects changed from autoresizing to constraints. Developers who embed other elements in their UIBarButtonItem objects (such as an embedded UIButton) should explicitly set constraints, as shown in the following example:

var btn = new UIButton();
btn.TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;
btn.WidthAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(32.0f).Active = true;
btn.HeightAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(32.0f).Active = true;

var barButtonItem = new UIBarButtonItem(btn);

Constructors

UIBarButtonItem()	Default constructor that initializes a new instance of this class with no parameters.
