ECSliding, referece RightController in AppDelegate

Question

I'm using ECSliding and I have this problem!

I have a topView and two menus,

left (LeftViewController) 
right (RightViewController)

both UIViewController.

I want to give a reference to the right view controller, to the left view controller, in the AppDelegate.

I did in LeftViewController.h:

#import "RightViewController.h"
@class RightViewController;
@property (strong, monatomic) RightViewController *rightView;

in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in AppDelegate.m :

RightViewController *rightViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Right"];
LeftViewController *leftViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Left"];

leftViewController.rightView = rightViewController;

but I get this error in AppDelegate.m on self.storyboard:

Property 'storyboard not found on object of type 'AppDelegate *

How can I solve this problem?

Don't statically give them a reference to each other. Instead, when they are part of the sliding view controller self.slidingViewController will be a valid reference and you can navigate based on the relationships that actually exist:

self.slidingViewController.underLeftViewController

When using it, you should check the class and cast the reference:

LeftViewController *leftController = self.slidingViewController.underLeftViewController;

if ([leftController isKindOfClass:[LeftViewController class]]) {
    leftController. ...;
}
