Question

Hello I recently posted this question but very badly explained the problem, but i’ll hopefully explain it better this time.

I have made this past project before with a Tab Bar, which one of the tabs lead to a UITableViewController, through @interface like so:

@interface NewsViewController : UITableViewController <MWFeedParserDelegate> {

Now I am doing a similar project where I am using a lot of the same code but it isn’t using tabs, it uses UIButtons on a UIViewController to navigation around, and on one of my i want it to load the same UITableView, So i added the tableView to my project using IB, and now i have the problem as my original @interface for this particular header is a UIViewController like so:

@interface NewsViewController : UIViewController

So now i need my interface to load the UIViewController, and the UITableViewController under the same @interface, so then they both load and the same time, and that the tableView is then inside of the view.

Or is there something i should of probably changed in the .m file, which will tell it to load tableView as right now if i use:

@interface NewsViewController : UIViewController <MWFeedParserDelegate> {

I get errors saying i haven’t declared tableView, and if i change it to UITableViewController, it obviously doesn’t load the view.

Any ideas?

Can’t you just change the “original @interface” to be a subclass of UITableViewController, then connect the proper outlets in Interface Builder:

@interface NewsViewController : UITableViewController

If you load just the NewsViewController which is a subclass of UIViewController, it doesn’t recognize tableView because it doesn’t have a table view, it’s not a subclass of UITableViewController.
