    <p>Please help with understanding how #import works without using inheritance. </p> <p>So I have created a Class named Person and another Class named Body (both classes are inherited from NSObject).</p> <p>The Body class has 3 ivars (set with properties)</p> <pre><code> int hands; int feet; int legs; </code></pre> <p>I then imported and created an instance of the Body class ( *body) into the Person class. My understanding is that I have now made a 'type' from the Body class. This ivar was then set with properties.</p> <p>In main, I then created an instance from the Person class named person. Main recognizes person.body.feet but I cannot get and set its value directly. The only way it can be done is passing its value into a new int variable and then print out the new variable. </p> <p>Obviously I’m a struggling newbe but I really want to understand this problem -</p> <pre><code> #import &lt;Foundation/Foundation.h&gt; #import "Person.h" int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; Person *person = [[Person alloc]init]; // this works and NSLog prints out the value is 2 int feet = person.body.feet = 2; NSLog(@"person.body = %i",feet); // this does not work - NSLog prints out the value is 0; [person.body setFeet:2]; NSLog(@"person.body = %i", person.body.feet ); [person release]; [pool drain]; return 0; } #import &lt;Foundation/Foundation.h&gt; #import "Body.h" @interface Person : NSObject { Body *body; } @property (assign) Body *body; @end #import "Person.h" @implementation Person @synthesize body; @end #import &lt;Foundation/Foundation.h&gt; @interface Body : NSObject { int hands; int feet; int legs; } @property int hands; @property int feet; @property int legs; @end #import "Body.h" @implementation Body @synthesize hands; @synthesize feet; @synthesize legs; @end </code></pre>

    1. COWhat do you mean "this does not - why ??"? Error message? Runtime issue?

    3. CO@bblum - I do not get error message from [person.body setFeet:2]; but it prints out 'person.body = 0' My question is why does it not print out 'person.body = 2' ?? Thanks

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
