Of course it's different, in the sense that it provides view controllers instead of views. But it's incredibly cumbersome to use as a first-class citizen in a storyboard. In my case, it's a child of a tab view controller. But there's no way in IB to specify anything about the fixed view hierarchy if you instantiate it in IB (that I can see). Perhaps you might think to create a UIViewController that you subclass. Okay, now let's put a container view into it, and then embed a UIPageViewController in that. Well, container views are fairly useless in IB, because there's no outlet for the embedded view in the containing view controller. You'd have to iterate the children to find a UIPageViewController, but what if you have more than one? Cumbersome. And there's no way to wire the dataSource and delegate back to the containing view controller. I'm having trouble seeing the utility of putting a UIPageViewController in a storyboard for anything but a quick demo app, and then only if you can subclass it (which the docs say you can do in 7 but imply you can't do in 6). Now we're even more like a UITableViewController, except you can't have a view hierarchy in the UIPageViewController. Cumbersome. -- Rick _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
