In your case, I think the TextField object has to be an Outlet instead
of an Action. You have to connect from your app to the TextField. The
Outlet has to be declared first in your class header :
IBOutlet id myTextField;
The small piece of code I wrote in the previous mail is to be put in an
Action function (which can be triggered by the click on a button). The
user enters some text in the TextView, clicks on a button and then you
can do whatever you want with what the user wrote.
