I am running Xcode 4.3.3 over a VNC connection to a Max OSX box where Control+drag does not work. I would like to create a segue triggered from a button on the first scene. The usual way is to do control+drag from button to second scene but that does not work because of VNC. Is there an alternative way to do this? For creating outlets there is a workaround by right click on a control and dragging from the list of events to VC's sources code. Is there similar workaround for triggering segues?
Thanks.
if it's a UIButton, right click on it, you'll see a triggered segue option. Click on the round circle on the right side of it and drag it to the destination.
If it's a viewController, right click on the ViewController thing next to the First Responder (Orange box), you'll see also triggered segue option. Click on the round circle on the right side of it and drag it to the destination to create a segue.

Something strange is happening in my app. I'm finding that when I press any button, all of the other buttons on my view are getting pressed. They all seem to be linked somehow.
There are no outlets connecting them to each other, they're not linked to the same function or anything. I can't figure out why this is happening? Any ideas why pressing one button will trigger a touchupinside event on another, unrelated button?
Thanks
I bet you created a button, added an action to it, and then duplicated it, dragged the copy to a new location, and added an action to the copy. Then you continued with that process.
Go to the "connections inspector" tab on the right (The circle with an arrow on it). Select each button. I'm guessing that you have multiple actions on each button. (A button can contain multiple actions.)
I'm trying to make segue using storyboard, and I found it's really confusing for me. Sometimes, when I drag and drop segue push or modal, both will act like modal (bottom to up). And sometimes, it will act like push (right to left). I'm also using navigation controller to handle the right and left button. Do you know why it happens? How do we make sure that if we want to View Controller to animate right and left, we use push. and if we want to use modal, the View Controller to animate bottom to top. Thank you guys!
Check you are using the correct type of segue -->
On the right hand side, after selecting the segue -->
I just started to learn ios programming this week.... When I connection the button from storyboard to the swift code I forgot to change the connection to Action. So can anyone tell to how to edit it? Plus, if I don't want to use any of the connections how can I delete it? thanks!
Select your UI element in interface builder, open the Utilities panel and the Connections inspector should show all of your IBOutlets and IBActions.
Here you can remove a connection by pressing the "X" icon.
When you right click on your UIButton as follows,
you can see Send Events, under which there is Touch Up inside which shows the action clickMe it is connected to. You can delete it by pressing delete, x sign, next to it.
And then to bind the button with other action, select and drag from Touch Up Inside and release on your selected action method implementation on your view controller implementation.
To modify any Storyboard Connections:
Select your storyboard
Select the view you want to modify
Open the Utilities column (right most button in the top right corner of XCode).
In Utilities column, select Connections Inspector (right most button; looks like an arrow)
Click on the "X" for connections you want to remove.
If you want to trigger a callback when the button is selected:
Create a method in your view controller (i.e. -(IBAction)buttonCallback:(id)sender{...} )
Go to your Storyboard
Hold Ctrl and click on the UIButton, now drag the cursor to your view controller and release.
The method buttonCallback should show up, just click it.
I am working on ToDoList app in IPAD.
I am getting problem to control+drag the button(Done, Cancel) to point to the "Exit" button in the bottom due to scroll issues.when i zoom-in in the story board for "Add To-Do Item" screen.I cannot see the below green button to connect due to scroll issues.
Will there be any other way i can point the "Done" or "Cancel" button clicks to unwindList segue.
Please provide me with any way to solve this issue.
Open the storyboard, click on the little icon in the lower left corner called "Show Document Outline" . You will see a list of elements with their names there. Control-Drag from the desired button name to Exit.
Also, right-click any view (including a button) will pop a small window with a full list (outlets and all). That window can be moved and dragged, so you can place it next to the green 'Exit' and drag from there. This comes handy when you need to control-click-drag from/to views that are far or tricky (without dropping it in the wrong place).
I think 'Touch up inside' is the click gesture.
Ok. So I have been testing out a simple application on xcode to become familiar with the platform, but I've come across an interesting situation. Using storyboard, I've dragged two view controllers that are connected by buttons by segues. They both have a uitextfield dragged on them that respond on click when they are the initial view. However, when I move to another viewcontroller from the buttoned segue, the keyboards no longer automatically popup. Is this a problem with apple's uitextfield? (ps. there is no code to this as I thought this would simply be automatic responding)
Look to see if the view hierarchy has become messed up. You can easily see this in the 'document outline.'
If you don't see this pane, look on the left, bottom side of the storyboard and click the small arrow pointing to the left.
What do you see here? Is the Text Field an immediate child of the View or of something else? If it's an immediate child, do you see other children of View listed here that you don't recognize?
