Question

I have a button that is initialized dynamically.. I want to disable that button from another UIViewController.

I am using this code:

The button is
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *aboutus;

and then i try to disable it this way:

OtherViewController * view2 = [[OtherViewController alloc]      initWithNibName:@"view2"    bundle:nil];
view2.aboutus.enabled=NO;

but the button would still be enabled.. any ideas why?

Answer 1

You need a public BOOL property:

@property(nonatomic) buttonEnabled;

on OtherViewController. Set that value to whatever you want (YES or NO) and then in viewDidLoad:

aboutus.enabled = buttonEnabled;
