Show ViewController from XIB-file-Button - Swift

Question

is there a way how to segue from a xib-file (custom TableViewCell) to another ViewController in the Main.storyboard.

There's no possibility to drag a segue, like within the main storyboard.

In the cell I've got a button, from where I want to change the view. How can I solve it?

Thanks!

Not really an answer, but is there a reason why you use a separate xib instead of the interface builder for layouting the cell? — Thomas, Mar 24 '15 at 17:13

You can always instantiate a view controller from your Storyboard and present it on button tapped:

    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewControllerID") as UIViewController
    self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

When I use this code, it says 'TableViewCell.swift dies not have a member named presentViewController'. TableViewCell.swift is my swift file to the XIB-file. – chrisby Mar 25 '15 at 12:01
TableViewCell.swift is of the type UITableViewCell and is implemented in a tableViewController in the main storyboard – chrisby Mar 25 '15 at 12:09
You need to be in your ViewController to activate the transition, so the action of pressing the TableViewCell must be implemented in the ViewController and not directly in your view. – juliensaad Mar 26 '15 at 01:58

Define a segue in StoryBoard and specify the identifier, like detail
Perform segue in talbeView(_, didSelectRowAtIndexPath):

Use self.performSegueWithIdentifier to fire a segue

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    self.performSegueWithIdentifier("detail", sender: nil)
    tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)
}
