Question

I wanted to use a xib file to customise a tableview section in xcode (objective C), and here ar my files:

SectionHeaderView.xib is a UIView with a UILabel

SectionHeaderView.m

#import "SectionHeaderView.h"

@implementation SectionHeaderView

@synthesize sectionHeader;

@end

SectionHeaderView.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface SectionHeaderView : UIView
{
IBOutlet UILabel *sectionHeader;
}

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel *sectionHeader;

@end

and in my MasterViewController.m

#import "SectionHeaderView.h"

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {

SectionHeaderView  *header = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"SectionHeaderView" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];

return header;

}

It works ok till here, however as soon as I set XIB file owner’s custom class to “SectionHeaderView” and connect the Label to “sectionHeader” I will get the error “NSUnknownKeyException”. I wanted to connect these so I could change the label.text by the following code before returning the haeder:

header.sectionHeader.text = headerText;

I am using storyboard (xcode 4.5) for the MasterViewController.
Would appreciate any help

Try this: I have tested it in my app and its working:

NSArray *viewArray =  [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"SectionHeaderview" owner:self options:nil];  
UIView *view = [viewArray objectAtIndex:0]; 
UILabel *lblTitle = [view viewWithTag:101]; 
lblTitle.text = @"Text you want to set"; 
return view;
