unrecognized selector sent to instance

I am trying to get a pop up menu on iPhone. The main app is using storyboard, but the pop up is a separate xib file that I load:

menu = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SimpleMenuController" bundle:nil];
[self.view addSubview:menu.view];

and I slide it in and out with animation when pressing a button.

that works fine, but I get a problem when I try to press a button inside that pop up menu

I get the following error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', 
 reason: '-[UIViewController PressCategory:]: 
 unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8d3c040'

I have connected the button to PressCategory function I have connected the view to the file owner.

What I have noticed is that my ViewController is called SimpleMenuViewController, that is where the PressCategory function is, so of course it will not find the selector. But I don't know what I am doing wrong in connecting in the xib file.

Do you have PressCategory function in your SimpleMenuViewController? If yes, then check weather its parameterized or not.

Declare function in .h file like this:

-(IBAction)PressCategory:(UIButton *)sender;

Define it in .m file like this:

-(IBAction)PressCategory:(UIButton *)sender {
     // write your code here
}

Change your code to:

menu = [[SimpleMenuViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SimpleMenuController" bundle:nil];

so that you're instantiating the correct class.
