Frequently Asked Questions

How can I present a view I from interface builder with the contentView of my UAModalPanel subclass?

You can create a new xib for this interface and then inflate it in the subclass and set it's owner to the subclass, not the controller. In your subclass .h file

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIView *myViewFromNib;

Dont forget to synthesize it and release it in your .m file. Then in the xib file (we'll call it myViewNib.xib), make File's Owner an instance of your UAModalPanel Subclass and hook up the myViewFromNib outlet to the main view in the nib. The load it in your subclass .m file

[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"myViewNib" owner:self options:nil];

How can I setup a button to call a method in my UAModalPanel Subclass?

You can do this in a number of ways:

1. If you create the button programmatically, just set the target and selector of the button to be one in the subclass.
2. If loading from a nib, add an IBAction to the .h and .m files and hook it up to File's Owner

How can I setup a button to call a method in my Controller?

First, hook up the button to the subclass. The subclass will receive the button tap and then you can notify the controller through a couple different ways to call the method.

1. Use NSNotificationCenter to send a notification that the button was tapped. Your controller should listen for this notification.
2. Set the delegate of the subclass to be the controller, then call a method on the delegate.
