Xcode: Create a group of outlets

This is just a quick question, I have lots of outlets in my code that need to be hidden initially and I want to make it so that in my viewDidLoad I only have to say something along the lines of colourObjects.hidden = YES; rather than individually going through and declaring if they are hidden or not i.e. redColourObject.hidden = YES; blueColourObjects.hidden = YES; greenColourObjects.hidden = YES; I would find it very grateful to know if this is possible and how you do it!

Thanks for any help Hugh

IBOutletCollection is what you need:

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutletCollection(UIView) NSArray *stuff;

You can drag as many outlets as you want in it and they'll be there. You can also keep the original references for other purposes. then

for (UIView *view in self.stuff) {
    [view setHidden:YES];
}

Sorry but there is not a way to do that. You would have to declare that individually.

What you could do I put them all into one UIView and then hide the UIView which would hide everything in in the UIView.
