Thanks for the responses. The problem turned out to be that my view controller's parent class had defined loadView, which didn't call the base (UIViewController) loadView (and indeed, the documentation says that a loadView method should NOT call the base).
Thus the XIB-loading mechanism was never called. Eliminating the overriding loadView method did fix the problem when instantiating from a XIB. The Apple doc says you should never call loadView explicitly, and never override it if your view controller's being loaded from a XIB. So it's impossible to have a view controller that can be instantiated both programmatically and from a XIB? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
