Get Child Object At Index?

[MediaChicken]

I'm stuck at it again >_< this time I'm having trouble getting a child object from a parent.

I know to add a child there's addChild, but isn't there a way to access the children? Say I'm creating objects dynamically (like buttons), they're being created in a loop so therefore they're not being assigned to a global variable, but now that they don't have "real" names, but they're inside my parent object (say a UIView), would there be a way to assign a variable like "myObject" and just say childAtIndex:1 and it'd get the first child and assign it to myObject?

I saw that there's a childAtIndex command but I can't find any documentation on it, is it deprecated?


Thanks in advance

I don't see these child methods in the documentation, so I'm not sure where you found that.

Have a look at the UIView documentation for some useful methods.

Exactly, I couldn't find it in the documentation, yes when I start typing it it autocompletes it with that... unless it's because I'm using the Sparrow framework, maybe it's a method used in there..

Either way is there another way to get child objects?

In the UIView hierarchy, "children" are called "subviews", so look for that. There's a whole group of methods in the documentation under "Managing the View Hierarchy" that are related to what you need.
