Strange Error When Accessing Members Of A Class

Question

I'm having a problem referencing a member of an interface I've just created.
I've created a UIView ( TestView ) in IB and had it write out the class definition and add it to my project. Within this view are two UILabels that I've named and have references to them by means of IBOutlet from within my TestView interface.
Here is the TestView interface:
TestView.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface TestView : UIView {
IBOutlet UILabel *Text1;
IBOutlet UILabel *Text2;
@end
TestView.m:
#import "TrashView.h"
@implementation TrashView
@end
I then have a reference via IBOutlet to my TestView from within my main window:
MyAppDelegate.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@class TestView;
@interface MyAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
IBOutlet TestView *testView;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIWindow *window;
@end
MyAppDelegate.m:
#import "LSAppDelegate.h"
#import "TestView.h"
@implementation MyAppDelegate
@synthesize window;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Adjust text lables
[ testView.Text1 setText:@"Hello World!" ];
- (void)dealloc {
[window release];
[testView release];
[super dealloc];
@end
However I get a strange compiler error from the line where I'm trying to set the text of the label:
error: request for member 'Text1' in 'testView', which is of non-class type 'UIView'
Anyone know what this means?
Thanks!

Answer 1

It not only depends on where the field is added but also on which fields were selected at the time of variant creation. In other words, the screen on which you are providing variant has now an extra field. You can try by just restricting that field from being displayed ont he screen by through Settings->Fields for selection.
Try hiding the new field or any fields and make sure the structure is the same as before.
For example.. there are 5 fields in your table...
fld1
fld2
fld3
fld4
fld5
You have created variant when the structure was like this:
fld1
fld2
fld4
Now, you have added fld6 at the bottom and the screen is given as:
fld1
fld2
fld3
fld4
fld5
fld6...
Now it gives error for sure... but if you try hiding fld3 and fld5... this solves the problem... fld6 will not affect as it is placed at last...
Hope this solves your problem.
