Question

I have a superclass O with a property UIView *view.

@interface O : NSObject
{
    UIView *view;
}

@property (nonatomic, weak) UIView *view;

@end

UIView sublass:

@interface myView : UIView

@property (nonatomic, weak) UIColor color;

I then have a sublass of O which has the following in its init:

view = [[myView alloc] init];
view.color = [UIColor redColor];

color is a property of myView used in some custom drawing code.

This causes the compiler to crash because UIView does not have a property color. I would be able to set the value using the setColor method, but it would be nice to be able to access the property via dot syntax.

Is there a way to do this?

in your specific case you need to declare view as myView *view instead of UIView in your .h file. then you will have access of custom color property.
