I want to change the header text on a view depending on where it

  • 0

I want to change the header text on a view depending on where it has come from (so depending on the parentViewController).

Is there a way to say: if the parent view controller is viewControllerX?

For now I’ve added a protocol to viewControllerX and I’m doing 

if ([self.parentViewController confromsToProcol:@protocol(vcX)])

Is there a better way?

    If you are talking about ViewController instances of the same class you can add a property to the class (for example ‘myInstanceName’ and set it’s value different for each instance.

    #define kInstanceNameFoo @"myInstanceFoo"

FooClassName *pvc = (FooClassName *)self.parentViewController;
if (pvc.myInstanceName == kInstanceNameFoo) {

    If the ViewControllers are actually different classes you can use the “class” property to compare.

    if (self.parentViewController.class == [FooClassName class]) {
