-viewDidLoad is a method on UIViewController - it's not something that will get called on a UIView. If you have initialization code, you should override the default initializer, -initWithFrame:.
Understanding the role of view controllers and views is an important thing to have as a foundation for iOS programming. I would suggest reading https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS/Introduction/Introduction.html and https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html Luke On Feb 14, 2012, at 4:48 PM, William Squires wrote: > In my sample project, I've got > > TestView.h > TestView.m > RBTestView.h > RBTestView.m > AppDelegate.h > AppDelegate.m > ViewController.h > ViewController.m > ViewController.xib > > AppDelegate loads the view controller and it's xib - confirmed, as the > drawRect: method in TestView does its thing (ViewController.xib's view's > class is set to TestView).
