Question

i have problems with a really basic thing. setting properties after instantiation a UIViewController-

header.h

IBOutlet UITextField *actionLocationFld;

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *actionLocationFld;


main.h

@synthesize actionLocationFld;

(void)loadSocialActionView:(id)sender
{
    self.socialActionView = [[SocialActionViewController alloc] init];
    self.socialActionView.actionLocationFld.text = @"test";
    [self.view addSubview:self.socialActionView.view];
}

actionLocationFld is a UITextfield. i try to set the text value after instantiation but it does not work. it looks so easy but i can´t figure out. what do i wrong?

any suggestions?

Answer 1

i´ve solved it not by adding another property and passing it the value. it seems it is not possible to access the text property of an UITextfield by the way i tried. here´s the new code line

   self.socialActionView.address = @"test";

inside of my viewcontroller i pass the value forward to self.view.actionLocationFld.text
