Access modal view controller parent

Question

I\'m presenting a ViewController modally. How can I access the parent view controller ?

My architecture is TabBarController=>VC1=>VC2=>VC3=>MVC1, and I want to reach VC3

The way I'd go about something like this is to simply create a delegate. In AskPasswordViewController's header, put

id delegate;

and

@property (nonatomic, assign) id delegate;

Synthesize it in the implementation file. Then after you alloc/init the modal controller, and before you present it, set modalViewController.delegate = self;. Then within the modal controller, you can call self.delegate to get information from the view controller that presented it. I hope this helps
