My View has a button, myButton, in my XIB. In the XIB the File’s Owner is of class HelloWorldViewController. And the view for File’s Owner is my View in the XIB.

In the HelloWorldViewController(which resides in MainWindow.XIB) I have - (IBAction) doMyButton:(id)sender and I have the corresponding definition in the HelloWorldViewController.h file.

For my View I have Events (again in the XIB) Touch Up Inside –> File’s Owner doMyButton.
For File’s Owner I have Received Actions doMyButton –> Rounded Rect Button Touch Up Inside.

I have a debug point on the first line of code that is inside the ‘doMyButton’ method. When I touch the button (with my mouse in the simulator) I do not hit my break point.

WTF?

    Thanks to a co-worker I found out what the problem was. The view I had with the button was in my HelloWorldViewController.xib as it is supposed to be. However, I had drug that view into the Main.xib to be the primary view for the NavController I had setup. I was editing the view in the HelloWorldViewController.xib when I should have been editing (read: making the connections) in the Main.xib where the view was duplicated for the NavController.

    I assumed that NavController was simply pointing to the other XIB where my original view was defined, not running off a copy of it. Kind of messed up for a newb perspective.
