Question

In Class1 I have a var named “cDte1”. I would like to set it from Class2.

Class1.h:

@interface Class1 : UIViewController {

    NSString *cDte1;

}

@property (readwrite,assign) NSString *cDte1;

@end

In Class2.m I imported the Class1.h

I then tried this from Class2

  Class1.cDte1 = @"test";

but that doesn’t work. What did I do wrong?

EDIT, more info. If I need to set the var and then show the view the code below doesnt work as I assume there are 2 difference instances of the class?

Class1 *obj = [[Class1 alloc] init];

Class1 *myView = [[Class1 alloc] initWithNibName:@"Class1" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

obj.cDte1 = @"7/25/2011";


[self presentModalViewController:myView animated:YES];


[myView release];


[obj release];

Answer 1

You set member variables on instances of classes, not classes.

So you can do something like:

Class1 obj = [[Class1 alloc] init];
obj.cDte1 = @"test";

edit: in your example, try:

Class1 *myView = [[Class1 alloc] initWithNibName:@"Class1" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
myView.cDte1 = @"7/25/2011";
[self presentModalViewController:myView animated:YES];
[myView release];
