Is it possible to use something like an IBOutlet array?

Question

I have a top list view in my current iPhone app, that's populated by code. I've assembled the view using Interface Builder, so it contains lot of UILabels.

Obviously I wouldn't like to have name1, name2, etc. outlets in my class, but prefer a name[10] array.

Is it possible to do so, and connect each item to the appropriate label (or any other interface builder like view)?

Answer 1

You can of course do this with interface builder, the keyword is IBOutletCollection. What it does is basically an NSArray out of multiple interface builder outlets.

IBOutletCollection(UILabel) NSArray *myLabels;

So the next thing would be connecting your labels in interface builder and then you can use the array to access all labels at runtime.
