IBOutlet instances are (null) after loading from NIB

Question

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

Answer 1

Make sure the view property of your view controller (ie File's Owner in this case) is wired to the view in your xib. As your textField is almost certainly a subview of that, it's important to get that wired in too (and I don't think the nib will load properly without that being set).
