Build xib Interface Builder and load them as subview in iphone

what I would like to know if it's possible to build a view and its correspondent xib file. Then, in a generic controller, load this view programmatically and add as a subview to the current view.

This subview should act as a generic info box which can be loaded by many controller.

thanks Leonardo

Solution

  • I found solution myself, after looking at some stackoverflow thread. So I would like to share what I found and see if it's an acceptable solution. Basically this is what I did:

    1. create a MyView.m view file with all my required IBOutlet
    2. build a MyView.xib view in interface builder, leaving default file's owner and set view as MyView.m

    3. use this piece of code

        NSArray *xib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"MyView" owner:self options:nil];
  MyView * myView = [xib objectAtIndex:0];
  [self addSubview:myView];

    It works, actually...
