I can't create an outlet in Xcode 5

I am trying to link a create an IBOutlet for a UIWebView Element, however whenever I hold down control and drag from the Storyboard to the ViewController.h file, nothing happens and an outlet is not created. I already have an outlet in this file, however, I would like to create another one. Whenever I go to the view controller for the previous outlet and hold control and drag the element to the ViewController.h file a new outlet is created. Is there a setting that I have enabled that stops this shortcut from working. Is there another way to create an outlet for ios in Xcode 5.0.1 on Mac OSX 10?

Fixed issue. The class of the view controller was UIViewController not ViewController. This meant that the ViewController.h and .m files were not showing up under Automatic. Once changed I could view the ViewController.h and .m files and create outlets in them.

I recommend not using storyboard, while it is a lot easier to use, it doesn't let you do many things. To create a new outlet, go to where you want to create it (this will most likely be a header file) and then type: IBOutlet yourOutletType *yourOutletName so to create a UIWebView you would type:

IBOutlet UIWebView *myWebView

and to create an outlet, such as a UIImageView, you could type

IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView

just remember to hook it up in your .storyboard file.

Again, I recommend not using storyboard, it IS a lot easier, yet it really has lots of limitations
