Making something happen when something is selected in a UIPickerView

Question

I was working on creating an app that uses a UIPickerView. I made the view but I am trying to make a certain button change what it does. Please help.

Answer 1

UIPickerView and many other controls use delegate pattern to inform you about events happening. To use it add to your class type definition(@interface line) and after that set the delegate of UIPickerView to your class like this:

myUIPickerView.delegate = self;

Then you can write the following method in your class and row is the index you want:

- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView
      didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row
       inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
    switch(row)
    {
         //...
    }
}
