Question

i have a viewcontroller with a textview and a label and i want to change the text on both of them before i load the view.

- (IBAction)loadCardInformation:(id)sender{
ciViewController = [[CardInformationViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"CardInformationViewController" bundle:nil];
[ciViewController.infoLabel setText:@"ROFL"];
[ciViewController.infoText setText:@"CAKE"];
[self.view addSubview:(UIView *)ciViewController.view];

}

I have hooked both the label and the textview to outlets, but nothing is changing.

Answer 1

You need to set these in viewDidLoad of the viewController. At the point where you are currently setting the properties they have not been loaded.

Also

[self.view addSubview:(UIView *)ciViewController.view];

this looks like something you should most likely not be doing.
