Question

Use-case:

1. A Xib is defined with a single simple UIView
2. A custom view class was created ( inheriting from UIView )
3. In order to change the class used for the view defined @ [1] I change the XiB view identity from UIView to ~MyCustomView~

Problem:
I was expecting that ‘MyCustomView::initWithFrame’ will get called, apparently, it doesn’t!!

How can I make custom classes instantiated while the ‘XiB’ is being loaded ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

you should override initWithCoder: for initialization and awakeFromNib for when view has all outlets and actions connected.
