simple UISearchBar and UITextView app

[chuck]

I'd like to see a tutorial which shows a UISearchBar as well as a UITextView where you type something in the UISearchBar and it appears in the UITextView as you type it.

I've pulled my hair out over this and am now redesigning my app with a text field and button because I can't get my head around UISearchBarDelegate and how it integrates with UISearchBar. Apple has an official example, except that it's very complicated. My post detailing my frustrations can be found here: http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/ip...html#post12603

If anyone could do this screencast, I would highly appreciate it!

Implement the UISearchBar delegate method: - (void)searchBarUISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChangeNSString *)searchText.

then just use myTextView.text = searchBar.text whenever that method gets called.

Thanks for the answer. However, I already know the code to make this work, I just can't set up the structure of the classes right to make it work. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to create the controller to interface with the UIView, because I noticed I can't add this delegate code directly to the UIView itself. Perhaps what I really need is a good tutorial on MVC on iPhone. I understand it on Rails, but it seems to be strangely implemented in Objective-C (to me at least). I'm going to go look at the Interface Builder tutorials again...

MVC on iPhone has no specific form. On Rails you are forced to keep everything separate where as in objc your view controller could be your model if you wanted it to. You are free to put code wherever you want because everything from views to foundation subclass's are objc.

Did you set the delegate for the searchbar in IB to the file's owner? That's what tripped me up at first.
