you don't need to set it to itself though, I think. Usually you would have delegate functions in the viewcontroller.

A Viewcontroller has some things that a view itself cannot do, like being pushed ontop of a navigationcontroller. Check the docs: UIViewController versus UIView. You very rarely need to subclass UIView only if you have very special drawing logic.

Unfortunately my MBP is being serviced as we speak, otherwise I would have offered that you send me the source and I find the problem for you.

Thanks!

I did set the view in my controller header file, but not the self thing.
Looks like this:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ChartView.h"

@interface WeightApp2ViewController : UIViewController {

	IBOutlet UITextField *txtWeight;
	IBOutlet UITextField *txtHeight;
	IBOutlet UILabel *lblBmi;
	ChartView *chartView;
}

@property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UITextField *txtWeight;
@property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UITextField *txtHeight;
@property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UILabel *lblBmi;

- (IBAction) calculateBmi:(id) sender;

@end

and the implementation of the controller:

#import "WeightApp2ViewController.h"

@implementation WeightApp2ViewController

@synthesize txtWeight, txtWeight, lblBmi;



- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle*)nibBundleOrNil {
    if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}



- (void)loadView {
	NSLog(@"chartView loading");
	chartView = [[ChartView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0)];
	[chartView setNeedsDisplay];

	
}

Gona test your solution when I get home from work
