这是一件应该比较容易的事情。我最终扩展了UIViewController并添加了一个loadNib:inPlaceholder: selector。现在我可以说

self.mySubview = (MyView *)[self loadNib:@"MyView" inPlaceholder:mySubview];

下面是这个类别的代码(它和Gonso描述的一样):

@interface UIViewController (nibSubviews)

- (UIView *)viewFromNib:(NSString *)nibName;
- (UIView *)loadNib:(NSString *)nibName inPlaceholder:(UIView *)placeholder;

@end

@implementation UIViewController (nibSubviews)

- (UIView *)viewFromNib:(NSString *)nibName
{
  NSArray *xib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:nibName owner:self options:nil]; 
  for (id view in xib) { // have to iterate; index varies
    if ([view isKindOfClass:[UIView class]]) return view;
  }
  return nil;
}

- (UIView *)loadNib:(NSString *)nibName inPlaceholder:(UIView *)placeholder
{
  UIView *nibView = [self viewFromNib:nibName];
  [nibView setFrame:placeholder.frame];
  [self.view insertSubview:nibView aboveSubview:placeholder];
  [placeholder removeFromSuperview];
  return nibView;
}

@end

我做了一个我喜欢的分类:

UIView + NibInitializer.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UIView (NibInitializer)
- (instancetype)initWithNibNamed:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil;
@end

UIView + NibInitializer.m

#import "UIView+NibInitializer.h"

@implementation UIView (NibInitializer)

- (instancetype)initWithNibNamed:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil
{
    if (!nibNameOrNil) {
        nibNameOrNil = NSStringFromClass([self class]);
    }
    NSArray *viewsInNib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:nibNameOrNil
                                                        owner:self
                                                      options:nil];
    for (id view in viewsInNib) {
        if ([view isKindOfClass:[self class]]) {
            self = view;
            break;
        }
    }
    return self;
}

@end

然后，像这样调用:

MyCustomView *myCustomView = [[MyCustomView alloc] initWithNibNamed:nil];

如果你的nib不是你的类名，请使用一个nib名。

为了在你的子类中覆盖它以获得额外的行为，它可以看起来像这样:

- (instancetype)initWithNibNamed:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibNamed:nibNameOrNil];
    if (self) {
        self.layer.cornerRadius = CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds) / 2.0;
    }
    return self;
}

我发现Aaron Hillegass(作者，讲师，可可忍者)的这篇博客非常有启发性。即使您不采用他修改后的方法通过指定的初始化器加载NIB文件，您也至少可以更好地理解正在进行的过程。我最近一直在用这个方法，而且非常成功!

我有理由做同样的事情(从XIB文件编程加载一个视图)，但我需要完全从一个UIView的子类的子类的上下文(即不涉及视图控制器的任何方式)。为了做到这一点，我创建了这个实用方法:

+ (id) initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibName withSelf:(id)myself {

    NSArray *bundle = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:nibName
                                                    owner:myself options:nil];
    for (id object in bundle) {
        if ([object isKindOfClass:[myself class]]) {
            return object;
        }
    }  

    return nil;
} 

然后我从我的子类的initWithFrame方法调用它，如下所示:

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {

    self = [Utilities initWithNibName:@"XIB1" withSelf:self];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code.
    }
    return self;
}

张贴的一般利益;如果有人发现没有这样做的问题，请告诉我。

在Swift 4中以编程方式从nib/xib加载视图:

// Load a view from a Nib given a placeholder view subclass
//      Placeholder is an instance of the view to load.  Placeholder is discarded.
//      If no name is provided, the Nib name is the same as the subclass type name
//
public func loadViewFromNib<T>(placeholder placeholderView: T, name givenNibName: String? = nil) -> T {

    let nib = loadNib(givenNibName, placeholder: placeholderView)
    return instantiateView(fromNib: nib, placeholder: placeholderView)
}

// Step 1: Returns a Nib
//
public func loadNib<T>(_ givenNibName: String? = nil, placeholder placeholderView: T) -> UINib {
    //1. Load and unarchive nib file
    let nibName = givenNibName ?? String(describing: type(of: placeholderView))

    let nib = UINib(nibName: nibName, bundle: Bundle.main)
    return nib
}

// Step 2: Instantiate a view given a nib
//
public func instantiateView<T>(fromNib nib: UINib, placeholder placeholderView: T) -> T {
    //1. Get top level objects
    let topLevelObjects = nib.instantiate(withOwner: placeholderView, options: nil)

    //2. Have at least one top level object
    guard let firstObject = topLevelObjects.first else {
        fatalError("\(#function): no top level objects in nib")
    }

    //3. Return instantiated view, placeholderView is not used
    let instantiatedView = firstObject as! T
    return instantiatedView
}

你也可以使用UIViewController的initWithNibName而不是loadnibname。我发现这样更简单。

UIViewController *aViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MySubView" bundle:nil];
[self.subview addSubview:aViewController.view];
[aViewController release];  // release the VC

现在你只需要创建MySubView。xib和MySubView.h/m。在MySubView。xib设置文件的Owner类为UIViewController，视图类为MySubView。

您可以使用父xib文件来定位子视图的位置和大小。
