I have several custom UITableViewCell, which share a lot of common subelements.
I tried creating a UIView and using it as a subview for all the table cells, but obviously this wouldn’t work, since entities in IB are object instances, not classes or templates.
How can I capture these common subelements in a custom control and drag it into all table cells? Ideally it would be a solution where one doesn’t have to muck around with programmatic Nib loading and whatnot.
I think the “easiest” answer would be to create your CustomSubview class with the common, shared elements programmatically, and then in IB add a UIView subview and give it the class of CustomSubview. You’ll have to write the subview in code, but you will still be able to reuse it in your various xibs.
