Can't follow video. Not able to define a global variable like in the lesson

I'm not able to declare a global variable like what Ben is doing in the video.

When I try to type UIColor *disclosureColor; below the @implementation EditFriendsTableViewController line, it makes it all capitalized and I get an error saying "Unknown type name UICOLOR".

I'm unsure of what I'm doing wrong / differently. Any help is welcome.

Robert,

Try typing it in a plain text edit, and then copy and paste it into the .m file. It should not be causing a problem. I have noticed that sometimes xcode will try to help with suggesting previous entries, if you type UICOLOR by accident, then it will try to autocomplete that for you the next time you type UIC.... Correctly typing UIColor should give you the correct result.

UIColor* disclosureColor;
