Question

I have ViewController and then two different ViewControllers that extend that main ViewController, one for the iPhone and the other for the iPad.

The iPad’s ViewController instantiates a separate extended UIView and sets it as its own view. That view has some buttons, which I want to add its selector methods as some methods in the main ViewController. How can this be achieved?

So here’s a way to visualize this:

Main ViewController
| iPhone ViewController
| iPad ViewController
  | Some UIView Class    --> Button must invoke method in Main View Controller

EDIT:
I do not use interface builder at all.

Answer 1

Unless I’m misunderstanding the question, there’s no trick to it.

If you define (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender in the main view controller, it’s inherited by the iPad view controller subclass. Therefore specifying it as a selector belonging to self when the iPad view controller sets up its button should work fine.
