Just today I wrote a demonstration code, that also uses instantiation of custom view by loading a nib

  • the controller has a member DetailContactHeaderView *headerView
  • in the nib, I have a DetailContactHeaderView and the Files' owner type is my Controller
  • the files' owner property headerView and the View get Connected

  • in this controller I have this code 

    [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"DetailContactHeader" owner:self options:nil];

See my MyContacts for an implementation. FYI:

  • DetailContactHeaderView
  • DetailContactHeader.xib
  • DetailContactViewController
    • especially -tableView:viewForHeaderInSection:

You normally do so on the outside. In HelloView you should have a UIViewController derived class. Then when initializing it on the outside you would call:

hello = [[HelloViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"Hello" bundle:nil];

The bundle:nil make Cocoa use the default bundle.

In the interface builder's inspector for your Hello.xib's view, set the class of the view (in identity tab) to HelloView. I hope thats what you are looking for.
