iboutlet

I set up an outlet for a text view via Interface Builder. The text view loads fine, however I can't access any of the properties of it programmatically because the outlet is always nil . When does it instantiate? Even after my applicationDidFinishLoading gets called, it's still not "alive" or unarchived. An outlet doesn't instantiate because an outlet is a variable (or property). The objects in a nib are instantiated when that nib is loaded, and they are assigned to each outlet as immediately as possible afterward, after the objects are created but before awakeFromNib is sent to all relevant

I have 30 buttons in one view in Interface Builder. Each has a different tag between 100001 and 100030. I've found it easy to use the same action for each button, passing along the tag for each one when pressed and using code to decide which level to load. I want to connect all the buttons to a single IBOutlet, but have each button load a different image based on the user's saved data and the button's tag. How do I do this? Use IBOutletCollection to add an outlet collection to your view controller, like this: @property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutletCollection(UIButton) NSMutableSet* buttons;

I think this image explains it all. I have a subclass of UIView that I've entered into the class field. I'm trying to connect ibOutlets between the storyboard and class implementation. It's not giving me an error, but it's not working either. Is this another xcode bug, or am I expecting this to work in a way that it won't? Here is a solution: 1) Type an IBOutlet by hands in your header file, example : @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet ProgressBarElementView *targetProgressElement; 2) Drag the pin from the code to the element in document outline zone I have the same problem.. I saw that if

I am working on an iPhone app and am getting (null) references to IBOutlet fields in my controller. I have a UIViewController subclass that is set as the File's Owner in my XIB. I have a set of UI elements that are wired into the controller. After loading from NIB and attempting to set properties on those UI elements, I find that they are (null). To clarify, some code: ExpandSearchPageController.h: @interface ExpandSearchPageController : UIViewController { IBOutlet UITextView * completeMessageView; } -(void)checkTextField; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextView * completeMessageView

I am attempting to create a custom subclass of a UIView as follows: I created a .xib with a UIView that contains a Picker object and Toolbar object, hooked up the Outlets and actions. CustomPickerView.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface CustomPickerView : UIView @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIDatePicker* datePicker; @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem* doneButton; -(IBAction) buttonDonePush:(id)sender; @end CustomPickerView.m #import "CustomPickerView.h" @implementation CustomPickerView -(id) init { self=[[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomPickerView"
