A view controller is not interface so it can't contain a button. It is therefore unclear from your words what it is you've got. Do you mean a navigation bar? Do you mean you've just got a window that you dragged a button into? What? >I created >a new Table View by selecting New File in XCode and selecting a >UIViewController subclass, I select the "UITableViewController >subclass" and "With XIB for user interface" options. This creates a >new .h, .m and .xib file. My question is now what? So now what you've asked for is a table view controller subclass plus a corresponding nib that it owns. Your code can now work with that table view controller subclass just as it would with any view controller subclass. For example, if you've got a navigation controller, you can push the table view controller onto its stack of view controllers: the table view controller will load its nib, and the table view will appear in the navigation interface. That might be what you're after here. Or not. >In my existing >View controller I have one button and I want to add the TableView so >it appears beneath the button. You're going to need to read the View Controller Programming Guide and the Table View Programming Guide, and use correct terminology for things, both in your mind and in asking questions. Here are a couple of things to be aware of (these caught me in first couple of days programming for iPhone - then everything fell into place): * The nib templates are not necessarily the best way to make interface. They fit only some very basic situations. It is often simpler to create your own view, either in a nib or in code. This is as true of a table view as of any other interface item - in Interface Builder you can just drag a table view into a view. * You don't need UITableViewController subclass in order to work with a table. For example, take a quick look at my TidBITS News app (it's free). The opening view is a table view within larger view that also contains label (telling when the app's cache was last updated), which itself appears in a navigation interface. I never use a UITableViewController. (On the *first* day of writing that app, I did exactly what you did, because the template looked like a simple solution, but then I realized I had merely bolluxed myself and limited my options, so I scrapped that and started over.) m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
