Question

I have a nib file where I have a view that contains a background image, a button and another image that covers the full screen (a shadow) that needs to be moved to the front. On the view, I’m creating child views, and after creating those and adding them using [self addView] I need to move to the front the shadow image.

I’m currently using the tag attribute to find that view, but I’m thinking there’s probably a better way, by means of identifying the subviews I add in Interface Builder by some name.

I tries adding a IBOutlet to connect the subview with its parent, but it didn’t work (and made no sense, since the subview is already connected to its parent in some way).

Answer 1

The IBOutlets way should work, and is probably the best way to do it. Make sure you made the proper connection in Interface Builder after you declared them in the .h file.
