How to navigate To a ViewController From xib file of a UIView Class

Question

I have a view in my xib file which contain buttons. i want to move to a ViewController when i will press the button (@IBAction). I have used below code

let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)
let nextViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("About") as! AboutViewController
self.presentViewController(nextViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

I am getting the error "Value of type 'SlideMenuView' has no member 'presentViewController'.

because my class is a UIView type :

class SlideMenuView: UIView { 
}

so how can I navigate to other view controller.

Answer 1

I did it in a different way. In class file

class SlideMenuView: UIView { 

 var navigationController: UINavigationController? // Declare a navigation controller variable

// And create a method which take a navigation controller 


  func prepareScreen(navController: UINavigationController)-> UIView {

        navigationController = navController      
        let nibView = NSBundle.mainBundle().loadNibNamed("SlideMenuView", owner: self, options: nil)[0] as! UIView        
        self.addSubview(nibView)       
        return nibView
    }

// In Button action 

 @IBAction func btnAction(sender: UIButton) {

         var storyBoard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let nextViewController = storyBoard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("NextViewController") as! UIViewController
        navigationController?.pushViewController(nextViewController, animated: true)
    }
}

// For calling from UIViewController

    slideBarMenuIstance.prepareScreen(self.navigationController!)
