I was already overriding it but since the view was not initiated from the nib, viewDidLoad: would not be called. After browsing tons of initWithNibName:bundle: links, I finally found a workaround. In the calling view controller, after the call to initWithNibName:bundle:, I call something like [customViewController view]. This seems to force the lazy loading to happen. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat/Skype:LaurentDaudelin http://www.nemesys-soft.com/ Logiciels Nemesys Software laur...@nemesys-soft.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
