setting a view's tag

[djp_phillips]

How can I go about tagging views so that I can retrieve an array of the views for a certain criteria.

I would like to group views the same way you do so in html with the class attribute.

I know there's a

[obj setTag:];

But this is meant to be unique and I can't get an array of the objects i tag by using viewWithTag:

They don't have to be unique. The issue is that viewWithTag will return only a single view. So you're going to have to approach it in a way that can get you all of the views - subviews - then iterate through and do whatever you want based on the tag.

[seriessix]

for(UIView *daView in self.view.subviews){
  if(daView.tag==102021){
    //do stuff
  }
}

Views have a standard array property called subviews. If you iterate through that array, and look for a match on the tag, this should work fine.
NOTE - the code above is an example, and a stepping stone. It's not gonna work if you just copy and paste.
