Answer 1

Did you declare them as properties?

Using: in .h-fle

@property(nonatomic, retain) UIButton *button_first;

And in .m-file:

@synthesize button_first?

?

Answer 2

have a look at the nib file. may be you have changed the class of that nib file.

Check out whether you see tabViewController in fornt of File's owner.

I am sure you have changed the class so the change is not getting reflected of IBOUTLET in files owner.

and as told by @GUBB its not at all required to set hte property and synthesis of the stuffs..

hAPPY cODING...

Answer 3

You should have this:

VC Header file:

@interface tabViewController : UIViewController
{
    IBOutlet UIButton* button_first;
    IBOutlet UIButton* button_second;
    IBOutlet UIButton* button_third;
    IBOutlet UIButton* home;
}

- (IBAction) ButtonMethod;

VC .m file:

- (IBAction) ButtonMethod
{
    // Code goes here
}

You should now be able to link to the "ButtonMethod" in Interface Builder. Right click the button, click on the circle next to "Touch Up Inside" and link it to "ButtonMethod".

Hope that helps.
