Answer 1

You can convert the integer value of a tag to a NSString with:

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", ((UIControl*)sender).tag];

Or, if you really need a string as identifier for an UI object, just subclass it and add a property like:

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *stringID;

And then use it instead of use the tag property.
