Swift Objects in different class not updating - ios

Question

I need the stepper and label to reset back to 0 at the same time that my variables reset. The problem is the steppers and labels are in a different class and are not resetting when the variables do. I tried using delegates(if someone can show me the best way that would be great) instead of an instance of my view controller, but I can't get anything to work. Thanks for any help in advance.
ViewController:
class ViewController: UIViewController
{
var colors = CircleView()
#IBOutlet weak var circleView1: CircleView!
#IBOutlet weak var blueStepper: UIStepper!
#IBOutlet weak var greenStepper: UIStepper!
#IBOutlet weak var redStepper: UIStepper!
#IBAction func stepperChange(sender: UIStepper)
{
circleView1.redd1 = Int(redStepper.value);
redValue.text = Int(sender.value).description;
}
#IBAction func stepperChange1(sender: UIStepper)
{
circleView1.greenn1 = Int(greenStepper.value);
greenValue.text = Int(sender.value).description;
}
#IBAction func stepperChange2(sender: UIStepper)
{
circleView1.bluee1 = Int(blueStepper.value);
blueValue.text = Int(sender.value).description;
}
}
UIView:
class CircleView: UIView
{
var colors1=ViewController()
func updateStepper
{
if(redd1==Int(red1)&&greenn1==Int(green1)&&bluee1==Int(blue1))
{
redd1=0;
greenn1=0;
bluee1=0;
colors1.redStepper.value=0.0;//
colors1.greenStepper.value=0.0;//
colors1.blueStepper.value=0.0;//
}
}
}

I do not quite understand your code, like the "if" condition in your CircleView, the lack of parameters to the method "updateStepper". I am assuming you just wrote some "swift-pseucode" and I will ignore some parts of it to explain how you could implement a delegate for it. Below is an example code:
import UIKit
protocol CircleViewDelegate: class {
func updateStepper(view: CircleView)
}
class ViewController: UIViewController, CircleViewDelegate{
#IBOutlet weak var circleView1: CircleView!
#IBOutlet weak var blueStepper: UIStepper!
#IBOutlet weak var greenStepper: UIStepper!
#IBOutlet weak var redStepper: UIStepper!
var circleViewDelegate: CircleView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
circleViewDelegate = circleView1
circleViewDelegate!.delegate = self
}
func updateStepper(view: CircleView) {
//code you want to execute when you call updateStepper() in the CircleView()
}
}
class CircleView: UIView {
weak var delegate: CircleViewDelegate?
func updateStepper() {
//whenever you want your viewController to updated other views based
//on a condition inside an element like UIView, you can use a delegate
//this way, your code is executed by the ViewController whenever you want
delegate?.updateStepper(self)
}
}
A callback in your UIView must be set to call "updateStepper" when you want. Unfortunately, I didn't quite understand the time it should be called according to your question.
I hope this helps!

Have you tried NSNotification?
If it's always going to reset to zero, then create a func without the if statement in CircleView:
func resetStepper(not: NSNotification) {
r1 = 0
g1 = 0
b1 = 0
c1.rStep.value = 0.0
c1.bStep.value = 0.0
c1.gStep.value = 0.0
}
Also in CircleView's createView func, add:
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "resetStepper:", name: "ResetStepper", object: nil)
Then in the view controller, post a notification from whichever button is calling it.
#IBAction func callReset(sender: AnyObject) {
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("ResetStepper", anObject: nil)
}
That will send the notification that CircleView is listening for to call the function.
Hope that works for you.
