Question

I have a basic question regarding iOS development. I have created view file ViewController.xib. I do have ViewController.h file. The xib file contains components, such as text field, stepper and so on. When I run the iPhone app the window is empty. I know that I need to drag and drop components from xib file to ViewController.h file in order to make properties, but this is what I cannot achieve. I drag the items them self but there supposed to be a pointer arrow being dragged up.
As far as I can recall I need to perform some other things even before this operation by dragging files somewhere. So, can someone tell me what needs to be done, please.
Best regards

If your .xib is loading properly, then any controls in the view should be visible, they just won’t function if they aren’t ‘wired’ into your class. It sounds like you’re just setting out on iPhone development, I would recommend you look at Ray Wenderlich’s Storyboard tutorial – this takes you through creating a basic app, and creating the view hierarchy: http://www.raywenderlich.com/5138/beginning-storyboards-in-ios-5-part-1
