Question

First off I’m quite new to objective-c and xcode in general, so it prop just a lack of fundamental knowledge.

But basically need to extend an UITableViewController onto an UIViewController
or to but in another way i need an interface (header) that inherits the implementation from my UIViewController but is an UITableViewController

To achieve this I would have done something like this in C#:

@interface Keyboard_Field_Extensions_UIViewController : UIViewController 
@end

@interface Keyboard_Field_Extensions_UITableViewController : Keyboard_Field_Extensions_UIViewController, UITableViewController
@end

Is there any way around doing this in objective-c? Maybe using delegates? But how?

Answer 1

Objective C doesn’t have multiple inheritance, like C++ or C#
UITableViewController doesn’t need to be extended to UIViewController because it’s ALREADY a UIViewController(extended by some methods for working with tableview)

It’s inheritance chain -UITableViewController: UIViewController : UIResponder : NSObject
