I wrote some stuff to find your view controller within the storyboard and/or within the view hierarchy based on the class name of the view controller.
Some of it is a little new some of it is a little old. One trick (on iOS) is that you will need to check if your root controller is a nav controller or not. The way I have seen the tag property used is arbitrary and leads to problems and assumptions. If you plan on using it for this purpose, create an enum with all the possible values for your view's tag. Or create a category on UIViewController and add an NSString called controllerIdentifier and a method for viewControllerInstanceFromIdentifier which returns what you want when given the identifier and only use this within the controllers that require it. > I have a view controller that I instantiate in my Storyboard.

"In a case where it's not clear if the contraction or the possessive should get the apostrophe, the contraction wins and gets the apostrophe." That's how I had to learn it. - Alex Zavatone On Apr 5, 2017, at 4:06 PM, Doug Hill wrote: > Thanks for the follow up. > I saw this but I happen to have multiple embedded view controllers.
