reuse view from storyboard

Question

I have a tableview with custom section headers. The view for the section header is defined in the storyboard and wired to an instance variable. Is there a way to request a new instance of the view from the storyboard?

In the past I have done this by having the section header defined in its own xib file and getting a new instance by using

[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"TimerViewSectionHeader" owner:self options:nil];
UIView *newHeaderView = self.sectionHeaderView;

Answer 1

I dont' think there is a way to do that. Best bet is to put the tableview custom header view in a separate nib and load it like you did in your code sample whenever you need to use it.
