Hard Coding a button to an IBAction in xcode

Question

when I google the title of my question I get another stackoverflow question that was answered that has been really helpful and explains most of what I need to do with hard coding a button. The problem is that when it is tied to an action it resembles this...

[btnDetail setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"btn-detail.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Im looking to tie the button directly to an IBAction that I've already created called exitMovie so I was hoping to do something like this...

[button setAction: [IBAction.exitMovie] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

or something like that but nothing I have tried has worked. How do I do this correctly?

below is the link to the the aforementioned hardcode that I used for the most part. Can you hard code IBActions and IBOutlets, rather than drag them manually in Interface Builder?

You found it yourself in the last question:

[button addTarget:self 
               action:@selector(exitMovie:)
     forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
