How to load a xib file in a UIView

Question

I have been searching everywhere and nothing so far has worked for me   Basically I want to have a  xib file called rootView xib and inside it I want to have a UIView   lets call it containerView  that takes up only half of the screen  so there would be the regular view and a new view   Then I want a different  xib file called firstView xib and load it inside of containerView  So I can have a bunch of stuff on firstView xib and a bunch of different stuff in rootView xib and load my firstView xib inside of containerView in rootView xib but since it only takes up half of the screen you would still see the stuff on rootView xib

To get an object from a xib file programatically you can use    NSBundle mainBundle  loadNibNamed   MyXibName  owner self options nil  which returns an array of the top level objects in the xib   So  you could do something like this   UIView  rootView      NSBundle mainBundle  loadNibNamed   MyRootView  owner self options nil  objectAtIndex 0   UIView  containerView      NSBundle mainBundle  loadNibNamed   MyContainerView  owner self options nil  lastObject    rootView addSubview containerView    self view addSubview rootView
