iPhone Flipside Template (Utility Application): Where did the view come from ?

Question

When I start a project with the Utility Application Template (which has a flipview), I get 3 .xib files.

When I open the "MainWindow.xib", I get two rectangular pieces. One of them represents the window. The other is called RootViewController. This has a view in it.

My question is :

1) How is this view represented, because there is no View object in the Document Window of IB ?

2) How is it added to the ViewController from IB because whenever I add a ViewController, I get an empty area (cross shaded with grey stripes) ?

Answer 1

Look to auto-created files in your project

UntitledAppDelegate.m and RootViewController.m

Answer is there

Answer 2

The RootViewController simply is responsible for loading the other ViewControllers. Look in the ViewControllers folder to find them. Those view controllers contain the views. The reason this is done is so that you can have multiple views per view controller.
