Creating a segue programmatically

Question

I have a common UIViewController that all my UIViewsControllers extend to reuse some common operations.

I want to set up a segue on this \"

Answer 1

I'd like to add a clarification...

A common misunderstanding, in fact one that I had for some time, is that a storyboard segue is triggered by the prepareForSegue:sender: method. It is not. A storyboard segue will perform, regardless of whether you have implemented a prepareForSegue:sender: method for that (departing from) view controller.

I learnt this from Paul Hegarty's excellent iTunesU lectures. My apologies but unfortunately cannot remember which lecture.

If you connect a segue between two view controllers in a storyboard, but do not implement a prepareForSegue:sender: method, the segue will still segue to the target view controller. It will however segue to that view controller unprepared.

Hope this helps.
