Let me start out by saying you don’t actually ever #include/#import the xib,
(that’s the user interface file and even when you’ve chosen to use the
interface builder you don’t ever include it anywhere) I can tell you that stack
overflow is a wonderful resource for any objective c/cocoa help. (personally i
find the apple documentation horribly lacking)
alright so if i were you just to start learning and understand what’s going on
i’d add your button to your appDelegate (NSObject class automatically added to
every project)
You’ll want to use either your
-(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification OR your
-(void)awakeFromNib method to go ahead and draw your UIButton i’ll include a
snippet in the email that uses awakeFromNib, should do what you’re looking
for...
-(void)awakeFromNib
{
UIButton *myButton = [[UIButton alloc]
initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0,0,50,50)];
// this draws a square button (50 by 50 pixels) in the bottom left
corner
[myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
// this tells the button to use the buttonPressed method when the
control event happens... i.e.: the user presses the button
}
-(void)buttonPressed
{
//Put whatever you want the button to do in here, right now it just
logs the fact the button was pressed in your debug output
NSLog (@“SEE THE USER PRESSED THE BUTTON”)
}
The above code should work just fine although i wrote it in the email without
testing, let me know if there’s any other way i can help :)
