Interface Builder won't allow connections to custom UIView class?

Question

Using Xcode 4.3.3, I can\'t figure out how to connect outlets in a custom UIView class with objects created in Interface Builder.

In one ViewController, I have a var

In my experience, you add IBAction and IBOutlet to subclasses of UIViewController and not subclasses of UIView. So within the MVC model, your "1" UIViewController has all of these IBOutlets in it and then you use the data from these IBOutlets to update your views.

So you are fine creating the UIViews objects in IB and then creating the corresponding classes in code and then changing the class of the UIViews objects in IB to your UIView subclass. Just put all IBOutlets in the UIViewController that has all the UIViews under it, get the values you need from the IBOutlets and then pass them down to (set them in) your UIView subclasses.

Hope this helps.
