How to cast an object in Objective-C

Question

Is there a way to cast objects in objective-c much like the way objects are cast in VB.NET?

For example, I am trying to do the following:

// create t         


        

Answer 1

Sure, the syntax is exactly the same as C - NewObj* pNew = (NewObj*)oldObj;

In this situation you may wish to consider supplying this list as a parameter to the constructor, something like:

// SelectionListViewController
-(id) initWith:(SomeListClass*)anItemList
{
  self = [super init];

  if ( self ) {
    [self setList: anItemList];
  }

  return self;
}

Then use it like this:

myEditController = [[SelectionListViewController alloc] initWith: listOfItems];
