UISplitViewController delegation methodology

[ncc1701e]

I've noticed that a UISplitViewController will send the following method to its delegate when first starting up or upon rotation:
[code]
- (void)splitViewControllerUISplitViewController *)svc willHideViewControllerUIViewController *)aViewController withBarButtonItemUIBarButtonItem *)barButtonItem forPopoverControllerUIPopoverController *)pc
[\code]

but is it possible to make a UISplitViewController manually make it send this method to its delegate at any other time you wish? If so how would the syntax look like from the view point of a delegate detail view controller inside a UISplitViewController wanting its parent UISplitViewController to send the method to it?

This method being fired is the consequence , not the reason, for the master pane to be collapsed. So, if that's what you intended, I'm afraid there's no way unless you build your own UISplitViewController

I see. Thanks for the clarification.
