After all, the non-band-aid way is almost as easy:

- (id) initWithNibName: (NSString*) nibNameOrNil bundle: (NSBundle*) nibBundleOrNil {
        self = [super initWithNibName: nibNameOrNil bundle: nibBundleOrNil];
        if (!self)
                return nil;
        numColumns = 8;
        return self;
}

(I'm assuming that the view controller is not itself if a nib file. If it is, you need to used initWithCoder instead.)

This is definitely the right answer this time. If it isn't the wrong answer.

Heh :-)

Ok - I've implemented initWithNibName and set the value there. Works great - thanks!

As an aside, this caused another little problem because I then immediately called my method to show and hide columns, but at that point there was no ref to the tableview. I ended up also having:

- (void)awakeFromNib{
[self setColumnHidden]; <- tried this in initWithNibName but it was too early
}

which fixes that as well.

thanks everyone,

Peter
