Question

Is there a quick way on how to reset all the subviews like textfields, labels etc. to its original state like they are when they get initialized the first time? I guess dealloc and init again would not be the right way?

Answer 1

If you’re thinking that dealloc and init would be somewhat useful, why not just invoke release and then re-init everything with the alloc and appropriate init combo?

I would probably opt for explicit resetting code, but unless there are a large number of views you are wanting to reset, I don’t think that release, alloc, and init would be all too expensive.
