initWithNibName:bundle: instantiates a unique object graph from the objects serialized in the xib each time it is called. This object graph is connected with the files owner as defined in your xib. I assume the QuadNViewController class have a common base class with the actions and outlets defined that your QuadViewiPad expect and that class is setup as the class for the files owner. So nothing prevents what you are doing but as Luke pointed out some assumptions exist the could be problematic for you outside of your xib/nib question. You could always instantiate a xib (nib) yourself without using a UIViewController subclass and still follow the model you are thinking. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
