How to pass variable to new method I call when using @selector(methodname)

Question

Ok very quick question. I am adding annotations to my iOS using MKMapAnnotation. I create a int and an annotation with a disclosure button Which calls the method loadPano l

Answer 1

If you just have to pass an integer associated to each disclosurebutton, you can set disclosurebutton.tag = integer value;.

Sort of hacky to pass data around in tags but in simple cases it works.

Also for this to work, declare loadpano this way:

- (void)loadPano:(UIButton*)sender
{
    NSInteger relevantInteger = sender.tag;
   // More code here
}

And set the target like this:

[disclosureButton addTarget:self 
                     action:@selector(loadPano:) 
           forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];    

Note that the method now takes a parameter so the selector includes a colon.
