Question

With two ViewControllers, MyView 1 and MyView 2, is there possible to add a subview to MyView2 from MyView1.m?

I have tried:

MyView2 * screen = [[MyView2 alloc]initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[screen.view addSubView:mySubView];

But my new instance of MyView 2 has no connection to the ‘visible’ ViewController on MyView2, right?

To clarify, the ViewController that is showing, is MyView1. I want MyView1 to be able to add a subview to the MyView2 view.

Thanks

I think you’re confusing viewControllers with views, or at least your question is. Maybe it’s something like this you’re looking for –

MyViewController2 *myViewController2 = [[[MyViewController2 alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil] autorelease];

[myViewController2.view addSubView:mySubView];
// add any other views to myViewController2's view

[self.view addSubView:myViewController2.view]; // adding the view to VC1's view

If you want to be able to continue adding stuff throughout MyViewController1, you should declare either myViewController2 or its view as a retained property.
