Very basic Xcode question

jim51538 · 11:43 AM

Hello,

I have just one text field on MainMenu.xib. That's all I have. I want to set its text to "Hello, world!" How do I do it programatically? I've spent some years with other development platforms including VB.Net. For now, Xcode is quite difficult to use. I'm using Xcode 4.5.1.

The VB.Net code equivalent to what I want to do is the following.

Code:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
	TextBox1.Text="Hello, world!"
End Sub

Thank you for your help for such a very basic question.

Jim

The Xcode / Cocoa / OS X / iOS / Objective - C universe is much different from the Visual Studio / Windows / C++ VB.net universe you're used to.

Much of what is true in your old universe is not true in the new.
