Updating one UITextView from another?

[dirkweiss]

Essentially I have one UITextView that a user types text into. Then, when they press a button, the view changes and I would like the text to be the same in the second UITextView as to what they typed in the first, just different formatting (type, color etc..which I control with the second view.)

I have achieved this on a single view using the Hello World sample app that takes a UITextField text and adds it to a UITextView on the same view, and have been unsuccessful to carrying text across views.

How would I go about displaying the text from one UITextView on one UIView, to another UITextView on another UIView?

Any help or example would be appreciated. Thanks!

Was easier than anticipated. Below, attached to a button,

-(IBAction)printmyposter {
	
	textViewToBeUpdated.text = view.OriginalTextView.text;	
}

When the button is pressed the empty textView will update with the first textView. Dont forget to import the @class for the first view in the .m, and create an IBOutlet in the .h.

IBOutlet ThisView *textViewToBeUpdated;

Seems to be working. If I have missed something let me know.

Not sure why nobody likes to ever post their solutions correctly here, but whatever.

This does not work.
