IBActions in "if" statements

[prasanthkumaar]

I want to put the IBAction in the if statements like this :

-(IBAction)example {

example

}


if ((IBAction)example) {

Something


}


So basically if that button is pressed it should "Something" should happen. If it isn't pressed "Something" should not happen

You can't put an IBAction inside an if statement like that. You'll have to do something like:

-(IBAction)example {

example = true;

if (example = true) {

do this;

}

}

So whatever you do inside the example IBAction, then gets checked by the if statement to determine if it should enter or not.

but it gives me an error. saying that the example is undeclared


-(IBAction)example {

example = true; //Example undeclared//

if (example = true) {

do this;

}

}

Yeah it was just an example, a place holder for where you'd need to put your actual code of what you want to happen.

I don't know what you have declared in your header file. But it could be any number of things you can put in there.

myButton.enabled = TRUE;
myLabel.hidden = TRUE;

(You'd have to declare 'myButton' or 'myLabel' for those to work too)

IBAction is defined as a void.

When you see:

-(IBAction)myButtonWasPressedid)sender;

This translates to

-(void)myButtonWasPressedid)sender;

IB uses IBAction to understand that you can make a connection.

As it was already pointed at, you don't want to put an IBAction in an if.

Are you trying to recursively call your function? Is that your intent?
