One UIActionSheet for multiple View Controllers

Hey everyone.

Basically I want to create an ActionSheet that is linked to a log out button that is used in more than one Viewcontroller. So instead of writing the code and copy and pasting it in each of the Viewcontroller's viewDidLoad, I can just write it once and link each button to it. This is to achieve easier and quicker maintenance.

I originally thought about putting the code for the ActionSheet in the delegate and linking it that way but that didn't seem to work. I've also had no luck searching for an answer on line.

Any help is appreciated!

can you post the code you are putting in viewDidLoad?

Sorry, I meant IB Action!

- (IBAction)logOut:(id)sender {

    UIActionSheet *popup = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:
                            @"Log Out",
                            @"Support",
                            @"Rate this App",
                            nil];
    popup.tag = 1;
    [popup showInView:[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow];
}

But yeah, instead of creating one of these in each viewcontroller.m, the aim is to have it once somewhere and all four viewcontrollers work from the one.
