Question

I have some code here but it’s not working. What I want is to check when the UILabel shows something, example:

    if(label.text=@"3"{
NSLog(@"Label showing three");
}

Any help appreciated,

Seb

Answer 1

The only way a label can have a “3” (or any text) is if your program puts it there somehow. You should never need to test the contents of a label — test for the condition that would lead to the label having the value you’re interested in. More generally, a well designed program uses views to display the state of the program, it doesn’t store the state of the program in its views.

If you’re really bent on testing a label, though, every label has a text property that will give you its value.
