Question

I have created a custom UIView, and attached a delegate to it – it all works beautifully!

However, 60 of these UIViews are created in an array, in a loop.
And when I try to attach the delegate to one of these beauties, I get this Analyze warning: Property ‘delegate’ not found on object of type ‘__strong id’

Hopefully this is some simple syntax issue?

This works great:

myUIView *aSimpleTest = [[myUIView alloc] init…];
aSimpleTest.delegate = self;   //nice!
...

This doesn’t:

for (i=0; i<60; i++){
    [arrayOfItems addObject:[[myUIView alloc] init…];
    [arrayOfItems objectAtIndex:i].delegate = self;//error, as above
    ...
}

Would appreciate some help. (Hopefully I don’t have to spend another day learning something new!)

Answer 1

Try this:

for (i=0; i<60; i++){
    myUIView *view = [[myUIView alloc] init…];
    view.delegate = self;
    [arrayOfItems addObject:view];
    ...
}

EDIT:
You get the error because [arrayOfItems objectAtIndex:i] returns id that doesn’t have delegate property. You also could do the following:

myUIView *view = (myUIView*)[arrayOfItems objectAtIndex:i];
view.delegate = self;

or:

[[arrayOfItems objectAtIndex:i] setDelegate:self];
