Title Body

Have patience with me, I'm still learning Cocoa Touch. Other -viewDidLoad not being called question was unrelated to my issue, I did search. I have FooViewController , a UIViewController subclass. FooViewController.xib has its File's Owner set to FooViewController. Additionally, I have Main , whose App Delegate is MyApplication and whose File's Owner is UIApplication . My primary nib is set to Main. I am able to make the view appear on the screen, using this flow (code snipped for brevity): UIWindow *main; -(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication*)application { [self showFooViewController]; [main makeKeyAndVisible]; } -(void)showFooViewController { fooViewController = [[FooViewController alloc] init]; if(![[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"FooViewController" owner:fooViewController options:nil]) { DebugF(@"Failed to load FooViewController"); return; } // Add the view and put it in place UIView *view = [fooViewController view]; CGRect cur = [view frame]; cur.origin = CGPointMake(0.0f, 20.0f); [view setFrame:cur]; [main addSubview:[fooViewController view]]; } However, this message is not being sent to FooViewController : - (void) viewDidLoad { DebugF(@"Hello!"); } Total silence in gdb's output. I've seen other Cocoa tutorials that show Instances and such in IB's document view, but I do not see these options in mine. Am I supposed to be instantiating fooViewController in the Nib? Did I miss a connection? In FooViewController.xib, File's Owner view is connected to the view in the Nib. I'm sure this is a simple solution, and I have wandered down the wrong path. Halp!
