    copied!<p>I'm trying to keep my code clean and keep the number of files down. I am using a UITableViewController and I would like to load another view on top of it. I thought this would be pretty simple: </p> <p>(1) create an IBOutlet in my .h file </p> <pre><code>@interface MyViewController : UITableViewController { ... UIView *downloadView; ... } ... @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIView *downloadView; ... </code></pre> <p>(2) link it to my view in IB </p> <p>(3) do something like:</p> <pre><code>self.view = downloadView; </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>[self.view addSubview:self.downloadView]; </code></pre> <p>But that doesn't work for me. If I do </p> <pre><code>[self.tableView removeFromSuperview]; </code></pre> <p>Then the table view goes away but I don't know how to add my view from my nib. I'm doing everything for tableView programatically but I didn't think that would matter. And with UITableViewController subclassing UIViewController I thought it would be no problem using addSubview or something like that. What am I missing? This shouldn't be that hard right?</p> <p>Update: So if I do the following:</p> <pre><code>UIView *newView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame]; newView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; [self.view addSubview:newView]; </code></pre> <p>It does (mostly) what I want. So does this mean I'm messing something up with the way I'm connecting my view from IB? In IB I set the fileOwner's class to MyViewController and I make a connection between downloadView and the view that I created (in IB). That's all I should have to do right?</p>
