Can't create IBAction connections in Xcode 5 Storyboard
ios, objective-c, uibutton, uistepper, xcode
Solution
First, should `BuyNow.m` be `BuyNowVC.m`?
Second, if you are trying to tie an `UIButton` to an `IBAction` within your view controller and if that doesn't work, you might have missed re-naming the "Custom Class" field with the name of the view controller you try to connect the `UIButton` to in storyboard.
Third, you mentioned ".... are Action Segue: `push`, `modal`, `custom`. No sign of `buttonPressed` or `stepperPressed`.". This information tells me that you are trying to control drag your `UIButton` onto another view controller, onto which you try to tie the `IBAction` there - that is not possible.
Adding Screenshot:
Please check here in storyboard:
You have changed the "Custom Class" name for the `UIButton` to your own button name.
Please change it back to `UIButton` as name for "Custom Class" Field.
See ScreenShot:
Don't do this like in the image. Change it back to `UIButton`. Once you have done so, you will see "Action Connection" waving "Hi" at you again upon control-Dragging to it.
Steps:
1.) Click on your `UIButton` on your view controller in storyboard.
2.) Check the right-hand side panel (3rd tab from left) and change the "Custom Class" Field back to `UIButton`.
So it should be:
Problem
A seemingly very basic problem, but it's frustrating me to no end and stalling progress. When I click and drag from a `UIButton` or `UIStepper` onto the View Controller, the option to add `IBAction` connections aren't listed. The View Controller is called `BuyNowVC` and in my `BuyNowVC.h` I have: ``` @interface BuyNowVC : UIViewController { IBOutlet UIButton *buyButton; IBOutlet UIStepper *myStepper; } @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *buyButton; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIStepper *myStepper; - (IBAction)buttonPressed; - (IBAction)stepperPressed; ``` And in `BuyNowVC.m`: ``` @synthesize buyButton; @synthesize myStepper; - (IBAction)buttonPressed { NSLog(@"Button pressed!"); } - (IBAction)stepperPressed { NSLog(@"Stepper pressed!"); } ``` I'm definitely ctrl dragging onto the View Controller itself but the only options I get with both `UIButton` and `UIStepper` are Action Segue: push, modal, custom. No sign of `buttonPressed` or `stepperPressed`. Edit I should also mention that this isn't the root VC and the `UIButton` is currently tied to a Segue to the next View Controller (so I can navigate my mockup) but it doesn't seem to make a difference if I remove it.
