title: How do i modify a UILabel's properties when my MyViewController is unarchived from a nib?
body: <p>I am currently creating my first app for a personal project and I'm having trouble modifying a UILabel's properties when MyViewController is loaded.</p>
  
  <p>From other tutorials, I see that when the nib for my app is unarchived, the initWithCoder app is called:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@synthesize tipText; //references the UILabel i created in my nib file
  
  - (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
  
      if (self = [super initWithCoder:coder]) {
          self.tipText.layer.cornerRadius = 8; //the UILabel property i wish to modify
      }
  
      return self;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when the above code runs, the tipText is not bound to any memory yet. </p>
  
  <p>Where should i place my <code>self.tipText.layer.cornerRadius</code> code such that <code>tipText</code> is initialized and before the UILabel is displayed in my UI?</p>
