Question

Currently I am working for an IPad application which shows a Slideshow on the first scene – realized with a paged UIScrollView. When I click on one page in the slideshow I want to push a new VC (to a new scene, which should present multiple thumbnails… a kind of detail layer if you want so).

How can I do this via segue? Currently I simply pulled out a new VC and connected the SlideshowVC with the the next VC in the scene – but nothing happens. I wrapped my head around a couple of tutorials but most of them use a button which is connected to the next VC. Is it able to simply connect the SlideshowVC with the next VC or do I really need to strap a button over the whole scrollview and connect the button with the next VC?

Currently my scene look like the following picture. The first one is a NavVC – the second the SlidehsowVC and the third the DetailVC.

If you don’t want to connect the segue to a button, when you intercept the user interaction, just do this –

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"mySegueIdentifier" sender:self];

If you need to set anything up before you get there, use this –

-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {

    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"mySegueIdentifier"]) {
        MyViewController *myViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
        // do something here
    }
}
