iPhone: how to create two controller in one NIB file?

I'm a little bit lost. I have created a small app that is starting with a tab bar and in one of its view there's a button that should open a Navigation view that contains a table view.

In my NIB file I have put a Navigation Controller that contains a TableView Controller. I have created a sub-class called MyTableViewController which inherits from the UITableViewController. In the NIB I have configured the Custom Class of the TableViewController with my subclass MyTableViewController.

When the button of my App is tapped, I'm loading the NIB file with the initWi开发者_运维百科thNibName but it returns me a UINavigationController.

How does it work to request the creation of MyTableViewController and get a pointer on it when I'm loading my NIB? Thanks,

Sébastien.

This one has caught me out a few times.

When you do initWithNibName it will take the class from the custom class of the File's Owner, not the custom view of any objects .

I dont actually bother subclassing from UITableviewController any more. Just create a view controller and drag in a table view as a subview. Just make sure you hook up the data source and the delegate.

Link your TableViewController to an IBOutlet so you don't have to mess with initWithNibName.
