iOS Advice

Hi everyone!

Could someone explain an iOS concept to me please? I always get confused about how to implement the following idea:

I have a root view controller with a scroll view. The scroll view contains child views, containing a single button. I need my root view controller to know when someone taps the buttons.

Have I missed anything in the videos?

Cheers, George

If you are using Interface Builder then you can simply define an IBAction and connect your button to the root view controller. For more info, check out this video: Buttons and IBAction

If you want to add an action programmatically then you can use this method: addTarget:action:forControlEvents:
