UISplitViewController help

[GendoIkari]

Hopefully these forums cover iPad development as well...

When you create a new project with the SplitViewController application template, the view is added to the window like this:

[window addSubview:splitViewController.view];

I am trying to figure out / understand; what does the view property of a splitViewController actually return? It seems to inherit that property from the ViewController class; but with a SplitViewController it doesn't make much sense, because the SplitViewController contains 2 other ViewControllers; each which has its own view. So what view is returned by the SplitViewController subclass?

Thanks.

It's no different than a navigation controller or a tab bar controller. These view managers all inherit from UIViewController, thus they all have a view property.

What is likely happening behind the scenes is that the split view controller is taking the views from the controllers it manages and manually adding their views to its own view.
