Question

I am trying to call up a modal table view controller using presentModalViewController but I am not sure what to do about the delegate. The following code gives me an error:

MyRidesListView *controller = [[MyRidesListView alloc] init];
    controller.delegate = self;
    [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
    [controller release];

Error:

Request for member 'delegate' is something not a structure or union

Now, I realized there is no delegate property in my MyRidesListView class. So, how would I add a reference to my delegate there? What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Generally delegates are properties defined as such:

id<NameOfDelegateProtocol> delegate;

And:

@property (nonatomic, assign) id<NameOfDelegateProtocol> delegate;

EDIT: You said your parent class is UITableViewController. You may have wanted to do this:

controller.tableView.delegate = self;
