Question

I am building an iOS app and i have most of the code/GUI built (its a single view app). Now i have the .xib and controller.h file next to each other and I want to associate

Answer 1

I think i'm reading the same book as you (Big Nerd Ranch's "iOS Programming"). If so then yeah, I had the same issue as you. Admittedly I am using my laptop to vnc through to a mac box to work on xcode, so I thought it was vnc not capturing the keyboard properly, but turns out it wasn't vnc as I could right-click/cntl-click drag on other things.

Admittedly again I didn't do much research on why it wasn't working, but in the meantime I just right-clicked on the button, which shows the events that the button emits, then click-dragged the "Touch Up Inside" event and dropped it on the controller/owner, which then displayed the actions/methods to hook the event to. If you look on page 17 (if you are reading the same book) then that is the event that was hooked up.

Sorry if there are any obvious glaring errors with what I just say, have only just started reading this book today after a big lunch.
