How to “cancel” a UIStoryBoardSegue

If you are targeting iOS 6 or greater, then my knowledge of the cleanest way to do this is the following:

-(BOOL)shouldPerformSegueWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier sender:(id)sender
{
    if([identifier isEqualToString:@"show"])
    {
        NSIndexPath *selectedRowIndex = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
        Blocco *blocco = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:selectedRowIndex];
        return [blocco meetRequiredConditions];
    }
    return YES;
}

Where there is a method

-(BOOL) meetsRequiredConditions;

Defined on your Blocco class returns YES if the “couple of things” which permit a drill-down are valid.
