How/where in the code does the nib file get related to its *.m and *.h files?
Specifically I’m talking about when you create a new Objective-C class, not using the initWithNibName method.
Wherever this relationship is defined is obviously used by the ‘Files Owner’ relationship in Interface Builder. I imagine it’s a *.plist file somewhere or something.
NIB files describe classes instances.
When you drag and drop a component in a NIB with Interface Builder, actually, you create an instance.
If you drag and drop a UIViewController for instance, and if you did define a subclass of UIViewController in your OWN classes with a .m and a .h, you’ll be able to say to interface builder : “use my custom subclass of UIViewController for this object instance”.
This is achieved in interface builder with Tools/Identity Inspector and then Class identity : at this place, you can put your own classes that indirectly refer to your own .h and .m
