I know how to place a nib file in the “main” view controller:

when I execute this method a new nib file will be displayed.
Is it possible to place that nib file in a UIView controller instead?

I want to place that nib file in that view controller instead of in the main view. How could I do that?
Edit:
I tried doing what you mention Paul I don’t know what am I doing wrong. Anyways here is what I did:
I created another view controller with the properties an methods you mentioned.

I hooked up my IBoutlet UIView *exampleView to the base view:

then from here I am lost I don’t know where to place the other methods. I would like to place that exampleView into:

that view.
I have tried placing them in pgBackground.m but it does not work. I want to place them inside an IBaction so that I can load that with a touch up inside event with a button.
I managed to place a nib file in a uiview control but I have the problem that the subview will not rotate if the device does. I am currently working on a solution to this but so far here is a question that can show you how to add the view from another nib file to a uiview control.
