iOS Help with hiding a button

[iAppleFan08]

It sounds simple and most people will probably take one look at this and think "how could you not get this?" but my problem is with simply hiding a button when I click it. The books I'm learning the code out of use many examples of button.hidden = YES; but it's not working in my app.

Could you provide some more code, what language you are coding in, and some more details on your reasoning behind hiding the button?

 

[iAppleFan08]

All I have for that action so far is

button.hidden = YES;

All I want is to hide the button once it's pressed. That's all I have going so far. I have the outlet, the interface button connected correctly, synthesized, and the action specified. I'm coding in Objective-C.

if you just want to disable it thats also an option as you can make it dissapear under the disabled design or whatever.

just say

button.enabled = FALSE;

and that will disable it.

That doesn't seem to work either...

Maybe it's something stupid I did that I just can't seem to figure out.

Are you getting any run-time errors?

 

[iAppleFan08]

I'm not getting errors. It builds just fine with no errors or warnings. It just doesn't DO it.

Fairly basic question, but:
Have you hooked up the correct IBOutlet to the button?

As Nick says, is the IB outlet hooked into the interface builder ?

the IBOutlet needs defining in the .h, synthesizing in the .m then you should be able to link it to the button in the interface builder and then button.hidden = YES; will work. I know it works because I did it just this morning

Let me try one more time and make sure everything is connected...

It worked! It was a connecting problem (and something stupidly simple). Thank you for your help!
