Accessing IBOutlets from one class in another?

[JackSac67]

Hey everyone. So I'm having a small issue here relating to the subject of using variables defined in one class in an IBOutlet of a completely different class. Allow me to explain: Essentially, in my main ViewController class, an NSString is being generated based on user input and stored in a variable (called *theMessage) when a button is pressed. When that button is pressed, not only does it generate the string, but it switches to another xib of a different view controller class ("SecondView" class) where I want the generated string to display there in a UITextView. How can I get the string I stored in a variable in the first class to display in the text view of the second class? The text view is declared as an IBOutlet (*textView), but I can't seem to send messages to it from a different class. Why can't I say something like, "-(void)viewDidLoad {textView.text = (@"%@", theMessage);}? I guess because the variable "theMessage" is defined in ViewController, it can't be used in SecondView? Basically I just need an idea where I can use a variable defined in one view controller class in a second view controller class with an IBOutlet. Any ideas? Thanks.

Setup a NSString property in your SecondView class. In your main ViewController class, when you allocate SecondView, set its NSString property. In the SecondView class, in viewWillAppear, set the textview's text property with the NSString property.
