I asked for a new file which was a UITableViewController along with the corresponding nib file. But when I instantiated my controller and presented it, the table was not taking on any of the characteristics I was specifying in the nib file. After some experimentation (subtext: this took all day to figure out), it turned out that this was because initWithNibName: was not behaving the way I expected. I was saying this:
TableViewController* tvc = [[TableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil]; I changed it to this: TableViewController* tvc = [[TableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"TableViewController" bundle:nil]; And presto, everything worked fine. But I had expected initWithNibName: to follow the rule documented under UIViewController: "If you specify nil for the nibName parameter and do not override the loadView method in your custom subclass, the default view controller behavior is to look for a nib file whose name (without the .nib extension) matches the name of your view controller class. If it finds one, the class name becomes the value of the nibName property, which results in the corresponding nib file being associated with this view controller." But clearly that's not the behavior I was getting; instead, I had to specify the nib name explicitly, even though its name was the same as the name of the class. Is this a bug? I've made a small demonstration project that I can easily send in via bugreporter, if so. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, http://www.tidbits.com/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Among the 2007 MacTech Top 25, http://tinyurl.com/2rh4pf AppleScript: the Definitive Guide, 2nd edition http://www.tidbits.com/matt/default.html#applescriptthings Take Control of Exploring & Customizing Snow Leopard http://tinyurl.com/kufyy8 RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
