Steps to create an outlet with a class I wrote.

Example for SomeShinyClass

In the .h file:

1. @class SomeShinyClass;

2. Instance variable
    • SomeShinyClass *someShiny;
      
3. Property declaration.
    • @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet
            SomeShinyClass *someShiny;
            
In the .m file:

1. Import the .h of the class.
    • #import "SomeShinyClass.h"

2. Synthesize the get/set methods.
    • @synthesize someShiny;
    
3. Assert that the pointer is not null in the viewDidLoad method.
    • assert(someShiny != nil);
    
4. Release the pointer in the dealloc method.
    • [someShiny release];

    
In Interface Builder

1. Wire the outlets to the object.
