Xcode - Accessing object tags without a case statment

I'm writing a mixer app that has multiple slider objects all with individual tags (from 0 - 5) . Is there a way to change their properties without using a switch statement. For example my code currently has to repeat itself in a load of case statements :

-(void)sliderupdate:(int)currentfader{
switch (currentfader) {
    case 0:
        channel0 = round(fader0.value*100);
        value0.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%2d",channel0];
        knob0.center = CGPointMake(...;
        mute0.backgroundColor = ...;
        break;
    case 1:
        channel1 = round(fader1.value*100);
        value1.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%2d",channel1];
        knob1.center = CGPointMake(...;
        mute1.backgroundColor = ...;
        break;

Can I simply write one expression like:

channel(x) = ....
value(x) = ....
knob(x) = ....
Solution

  • No, but you can add those Channel objects in an NSMutableArray and access them by index. a different array for the values and a different one for knob. like:

    [channelArray objectAtIndex:x];
[valueArray objectAtIndex:x];
[knob objectAtIndex:x];

    just make sure you add them in the correct oder to their arrays.
