Sorry - but I am not following you. What I just tried that almost work is: In my detail view controller for the split view controller, I added in it's viewDidLoad:
HomeUIViewController *tmp = [[HomeUIViewController alloc] init]; [self presentModalViewController:tmp animated:NO]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(removeMainView:) name:@"removeMainView" object:nil]; And added this method to the same detail view controller: - (void)removeMainView:(NSNotification *)notification { [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; } In my HomeUIViewController I have a button that broadcasts that "removeMainView" - which causes the viewcontroller to be removed. This seems to work, however the main view controller in the split view (the left side) is black until I rotate the iPad around. Detail view controller displays fine. Also when the HomeUIViewController is presented, it's in portrait even when the iPad is rotated to a landscape. Is there a way to get views to update programmatically (as if it were rotated around)? That bit would make this work (I think) Google Voice: (508) 656-0622 Twitter: eric_dolecki XBoxLive: edolecki PSN: eric_dolecki http://blog.ericd.net On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 12:57 PM, Matt Neuburg <m...@tidbits.com> wrote: > On Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:00:27 -0400, "Eric E.
