You were close with your unsuccessful attempt. You only want one identifier for a single segue that you set up in IB directly from the controller to VCB. In your action method, that all the button's invoke, do this (notice that I'm passing the button in the sender argument):
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(UIButton *)sender {
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"MySegueIdentifier" sender:sender];
}
Then in prepareForSegue, you can use the sender argument to get the button's title:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(UIButton *)sender {
NSString *title = sender.currentTitle;
// do what you need with the title
}
