  • 0

I have a subclass of a UILabel that overloads initWithCoder and I was wondering if anyone has any documentation on how the coder is encoded so that I might be able to get information that comes from IB myself.

Thanks.

EDIT

Reason for doing this: I would like the font name given in the xib file. Apple’s implementation of initWithCoder disregards the font name given in the file if it’s a custom font and when you go to access the label’s font, it returns the system font. Therefore I’d like to catch the font name before the original initWithCoder ignores it.

    If you look at the nib file compiled from the xib file for the interface you wanna decode, you’ll be able to make out some of the keys you can use. It’s kind of hard to find stuff, but it’s better than nothing.
