Custom UI Objects

[aryaxt]

Hi. I need to be able to create custom objects. I have done this in other languages by just creating a class and inheriting from an object for example Image object in C#.

Is it possible to this is with xcode and interface builder.
I need to create an object named Chip. which is inheriting from UIImage.
and add an attribute called chipAmount.
and then load the image path depends on the chip amount any way to do this?


Thank You

You can subclass just by doing New -> New File (most likely select UIView)
Change UIView to UIImageView and check the init.
Then in IB add a UIImageView but change it's class to your new name.

However it's sometimes better to incorporate other classes rather than subclass them depending on what you want to do. In your case your class could just hold an UIImageView and the other instance variables you want. Especially if you're not changing the drawing or override the touches and events.
