title: Replace the TableView in a SplitViewController
body: <p>I am looking to replace the <code>UITableView</code> in the MasterViewController section of a <code>UISplitViewController</code>. Instead of the <code>UITableView</code>, I want just a View so I can place <code>UIButtons</code>, <code>UILables</code>, etc in it. These buttons would then control what is shown in the DetailView section of the SplitView. </p>
  
  <p>I have asked this question one other place and someone suggested that I create a subclass of the <code>UISplitViewController</code>. This person didn't give much direction, besides retaining the DetailViewController.h, .m, and .xib and editing the MasterViewController.h, .m, and .xib to my liking.</p>
  
  <p>Here are the steps that I have taken:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Created a new project and selected "Master-Detail Application"</li>
  <li>Unchecked "Use Storyboard" so I could get at the xib files.</li>
  <li>Opened "MasterViewController.xib"</li>
  <li>Deleted the "Table View" under "Objects"</li>
  <li>Added "View Controller" to "Objects"</li>
  <li>Changed "@interface MasterViewController : UITableViewController" To "@interface  MasterViewController : UIViewController" in "MasterViewController.h"</li>
  <li>Commented out anything under "MasterViewController.m" that was causing problems because they were referencing properties of the TableView, which is no longer there.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Then I get this error: -<code>[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:]</code> loaded the "MasterViewController" nib but the view outlet was not set."</p>
  
  <p>Am I on the right track? If I am, could someone help me out with the error I am getting? </p>
  
  <p>Otherwise, if I am going at this wrong, could someone point me in the right direction?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
