non-standard Storyboard view controller initialization (not -initWithCoder:)

Question

Is there a way to use init methods other than -initWithCoder: for Storyboard view controllers? I already know that you can set properties on VCs inside -prepareForSegue:.

do some research before posting questions, please – Gabriele Petronella Aug 27 '13 at 08:55 — Gabriele Petronella, Aug 27 '13 at 08:55

Yes you can use -initWithNibName: to load a nib file for the view. You need to follow these steps:

First you define the class for the view Controller created .
Then delete the view attribute from that controller in the storyboard
Then you can use nib file to initialize the class .

I'm afraid this doesn't not provide a solution for the OP issue, as he explicitly mentioned *for Storyboard view controllers*, anyway he'll be the judge of it. – Gabriele Petronella Aug 27 '13 at 11:41
