I’m trying to get a ViewController hooked up to a tab in a TabController.

  • 0

I’m trying to get a ViewController hooked up to a tab in a TabController. I’ve set the tab type to be a NavigationController, and my ViewController subclass as the tab’s identity. I’ve also set the NIB name for the tab. When I use any of the other tabs with NavigationContollers, everything works, yet one particular view throws an exception, this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key txtPassword.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

The property is declared as in the interface for the ViewController (a subclass of UINavigationViewController and exposed as a property. It’s also synthesized and hooked up in IB like the rest of the controls, yet for some reason throws this exception.

Is there any way to track down the cause?

    It turned out I had the class identity of a Tab in my UITabController set to an instance of a UINavigationController subclass, and the tab’s type was set to navigation controller. What I needed was to set the class identity of the UIView within the tab, not the tab itself.
