It is possible to use an existing ViewController with PerformSegueWithIdentifier?

Question

I use the method performSegueWithIdentifier:sender: to open a new ViewController from a storyboard-file programmatically. This works like a charm.<

To reuse an existing UIViewController instance with a segue create the segue from scratch and provide your own (existing) destination (UIViewController). Do not forget to call prepareForSegue: if needed.

For example:

UIStoryboardSegue* aSegue = [[UIStoryboardSegue alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"yourSegueIdentifier" source:self destination:self.existingViewController]
[self prepareForSegue:aSegue sender:self];
[aSegue perform];
