iphone - change view with button programmatically

I read this tutorial about storyboards on iphone dev. The guy changes views through a button. But the connection of the button is made through the interface builder. How can i do this programmatically, so i can make some checks (username/password for example) before the view is changed? Thanks in advance.

You can either create the button and drag the touchUpInside action to an IBAction in interface builder

or in code somewhere in viewDidLoad

  [self.login addTarget:self action:@selector(loginTapped) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Then the loginTapped method could look something like

- (void)loginTapped;
{
  if ([self authenticateWithUsername:self.username.text password:self.password.text]) {
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"loginSuccessful" sender:self];
  } else {
    // Warn user about invalid username/password
  }
}

This relies on you having created the segue in the storyboard with a name that matches the identifier argument

Connect one view with other (not the button with the view). Change the segue to custom and give it an identifier (in IB). Ex: Login

Then create an action and assign it to the button.

In the button action use:

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"Login" sender:self];

Create a Segue Class object and in the .m use something like:

UIViewController *dst = [self destinationViewController];
UIViewController *nav = [self sourceViewController];

//All your custom code

[nav presentModalViewController:dst animated:YES];

Edit: Forgot something important!

In IB, in the Segue configuratión, put in Segue Class, the name of the Segue Class created. Ex: LoginSegue is the name of the segue created, in Segue Class yo has to write "LoginSegue"

Edit: To Create the Class:

1.- Create a New File extending UIStoryBoardSegue, the .h gonna be something like:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface LoginSegue : UIStoryboardSegue

@end

2.- In the implementation, use the code above inside an method called perform:

-(void)perform
{

UIViewController *dst = [self destinationViewController];
UIViewController *nav = [self sourceViewController];

 //Custom Code

 [nav presentModalViewController:dst animated:YES];

}

If you need to access the property of the source viewController, you need to change:

UIViewController *nav = [self sourceViewController];

to

eYourClass *nav = [self sourceViewController];

Hope this help!
