ViewController parameter problem

[ralph099]

I have a list of data (TableView) that sends data to a UIView.

When the view loads I can see the data I have sent wired to a UILabel.

But when I try to use that data prior to the loading of the view, I get "Label" as the text in the label.

How can I access this data on viewDidLoad? Technically everything works, but I would like to the data sooner.


@interface MyDataViewController: UIViewController {

IBOutlet UILabel *myDataLabel
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *myDataLabel;
@end

if You would like the data sooner, then perhaps you need to rethink your design. A UILabel should be merely a means of displaying data which is retrieved from some other source.

Instead of trying to get your data from the label (before it's had time to load), try getting the data directly from the source, and you wont have that problem.

Hi,

Im new to Objective C/MVC, crossing over from .net.

I dont understand the reply.

Basically what I did was to create a NSString (and Property) on MyDataViewController. Then when the viewcontroller is being created, and handed off to I populate the string with my variable.

So instead of trying to get the data from the IBOutlet, I get it from a string type.

I hope this helps others.
