Hiding storyboard created views programmatically

I have a property "imageBar". It is a View that contains 6 imageViews, I want to animate the view to be hidden if there are no images in the imageViews. However, the line to simply hide the imageBar doesn't work, i am using

self.imageBar.hidden = YES;

within ViewDidLoad, but the imageBar is not hidden. ImageView was created in storyboard and i was wondering if it is even possible to edit storyboard created views programatically?

First, check that your "imageBar" outlet is properly connected. Second, I'd try and put the code where you set .hidden = YES in 

- (void)viewWillAppear{}
