Chapter 25. Controls and Other Views

This chapter discusses all UIView subclasses provided by UIKit that haven’t been discussed already (except for the two modal dialog classes, which are described in the next chapter). It’s remarkable how few of them there are; UIKit exhibits a noteworthy economy of means in this regard.

Additional UIView subclasses are provided by other frameworks. For example, the Map Kit framework provides the MKMapView (Chapter 34). Also, additional UIViewController subclasses are provided by other frameworks as a way of creating interface. For example, the MessageUI framework provides MFMailComposeViewController, which supplies a user interface for composing and sending a mail message (Chapter 33). There will be lots of examples in Part VI.
