1. Getting Started: Going Mobile with iOS > Changing the button text
Changing the button text
You know that the button is going to need an IBAction to respond to the button press and that we write up what the button should do in the implementation file. But just what is it that the button should do?
We want to change the text in the button to provide an answer. So that means we need some way to reach back “out” to the interface and change the label text. We’ll use an IBOutlet to do that.
Relax
We’ll get into actions and outlets more later.
IBActions and IBOutlets are both key for understanding how to work with controls, and we’ll go into a lot more detail on both in the next chapter. For now, just remember that actions are used to react to events in the interface, and outlets are used to reach out from the code to change the interface.
