Is it possible to create a non-full screen UITableView using Storyboards?

I'd like to create a view controller with a UITableView in the top of the screen and a fixed view (which would contain various button, etc.) at the bottom. (i.e.: Below of the UITableView's surrounding scroll view.)

Whilst this is pretty trivial using the traditional NIB file approach, there doesn't currently (as of Xcode 4.3.1) appear to be a way of doing this using Storyboards that I can find.

As such, I'm just wondering whether this is currently possible and if so what the best approach is.

Solution

  • It's pretty much the same process as with XIBs:

    1. Drag/drop a "plain" UIViewController onto the Storyboard
    2. Change the class from UIViewController to your own, custom class that implements UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource
    3. Drop/drop a UITableView onto the view controller
    4. Connect the delegates to your custom class
