Except that’s precisely what UIViewController expects. Let’s say you have a navigation controller. It is in charge of positioning its child view controllers’ views. You can’t intervene and say “sorry nav controller, but that table view should be 40pt below where you want to put it.” That’s not how view controller containment works. > > What do you guys suggest? > Use an custom container view controller, and watch the WWDC videos on view controller containment to learn why this is the right thing to do. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
