Using UIButton to navigate between views

Question

So I programmatically added UIButtons to my views, but I can't make them do anything. If pressed, they don't take me to the next view, which they are supposed to do. Here is the code (sorry for the bad formatting):

let buttonMen   = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.System) as! UIButton
buttonMen.frame = CGRectMake(213, 108, 162, 306)
buttonMen.addTarget(self, action: "btnTouched:", forControlEvents:.TouchUpInside)
self.view.addSubview(buttonMen)

My next view is called "General Information Page", while the connection between the two views is called "showGeneralInformation". So what do I need to add to the above code, if when I press the button, it takes me to the "General Information Page" view from my current view?

you need to perform the segue named "showGeneralInformation" — luk2302, Jun 22 '15 at 17:05
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("showGeneralInformation", sender:buttonMen) - something like that? — Kevin Wu, Jun 22 '15 at 17:07

Try this:

func btnTouched(sender:UIButton!) {
     self.performSegueWithIdentifier("showGeneralInformation", sender: self)
}


override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue!, sender: AnyObject!) {
    if segue.identifier == "showGeneralInformation" {
    }
}

doesn't work. "unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fa59175beb0" – Kevin Wu Jun 22 '15 at 17:20
I also have multiple buttons. From your code snipped, how would I know which one was clicked? – Kevin Wu Jun 22 '15 at 17:21
@west123, multiple button with same function name or multiple segue?? I didn't get your question – Sujay Jun 22 '15 at 17:23
