I have a very simple subclass of UIViewController
:
@interface RoastChickenViewController : UIViewController {
IBOutlet UISlider *weightSlider;
}
@property (nonatomic,retain) UILabel *cookingTimeLabel;
- (void) weightValueHasChanged:(id)sender;
@end
My xib file is set to have a RoastChickenViewController
as it's File's owner type and the weightSlider
is connected and the 'valueChanged' action is connected to weightValuHasChanged:
.
Trouble is as soon as I touch the slider (simulator or device) I get:
2010-08-21 20:26:07.688 CookIt1[26682:207] -[NSCFString weightValueHasChanged:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x59215e0

A little bit of history, I actually had this working using having subclassed UIView directly. I have managed to break it on converting in from a UIView to a UIViewController, which I guess is the more natural way to implement simple behavior like this.
Is there some sort of check list I can apply as there is obviously something I'm missing.
This kind of error (when object that receives a message is of completely different type from expected) often occurs when the receiver object for some reason was deallocated and its address in memory now is occupied with some other object.
So you need to check if everything correct with memory management of your controller.
