    <p>5 ways to do it here:</p> <p>1) Let the Search View Controller be the delegate of action in the Search Type View Controller, so that when the user selects a search type, it will be informed. Use protocol for proper check at compile time if you want, and remember to use assign instead of retain for the delegate, to avoid circular reference.</p> <p>2) Set the UINavigationController delegate to Search View Controller (or whatever class you want to control it), and listen to the event when the Search Type View Controller is popped out.</p> <p>3) Implement a "refresh" function in viewWillAppear: as suggested above, but this is not recommended, because the implementation of viewWillAppear: sucks and not reliable at all. Maybe good for simple app, but when the structure of your app gets complicated, forget it.</p> <p>4) Use NSNotificationCenter. Your Search View Controller will observe all changes to search criteria, and in each child view controller, when the user changes it, post a notification. This is more complicated, but much more powerful and flexible than all the methods above.</p> <p>5) Similarly, you can use Core Data to store all search criteria in an object, and listen to changes in that object using KVO. This is a bit more advanced and may be overkill, but if you know KVO, it makes life much easier in Objective C, so probably worth taking a look anyway.</p> <p>Btw: It's good to do all the UI by hand coding to understand the concepts at first, but try to move to Interface Builder whenever you can. It is a much recommended way to work (there are countless threads on this in Stackoverflow or on the web, with more elaborated discussions on why IB is better).</p>
