Question

I’ve got a simple ‘model’ class like so (complete with constructor of course)

@implementation Widget @synthesize name; @synthesize color;  - (id) init  {     if (self = [super init])     {         self.name = @'Default Name';         self.color = @'brown';     }     return self; }  @end 

I’ve declared it as an internal member to my controller like so:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import 'Widget.h'  @interface testerViewController : UIViewController {     IBOutlet UITextField    *stuffField;     Widget *widget; }  @property (nonatomic, retain) UITextField *stuffField; @property (nonatomic, retain) Widget *widget; - (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender; @end 

and… I’m trying to initialize it within my controller like so:

#import 'testerViewController.h' @implementation testerViewController @synthesize stuffField; @synthesize widget;  - (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender {     stuffField.text = widget.name; }  - (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {     if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {         widget = [[Widget alloc] init];     }     return self; } 

but.. it doesn’t seem to be initializing my object because my textfield comes up blank every time. Any clues?

Try to use

-(void) viewDidLoad{} method to initiliaze your data

in your interface class use @class Widget instead of #import ‘Widget.h’

and in your implementation class use #import ‘Widget.h’

and make sure you come into your buttonPressed handler!
