Sorry, Russell Warwick, in order to help, we'd need some more information on what you're trying to accomplish.

Okay so I have a UITableviewController than contains peoples names, but i want to place a custom UIView over the top of the table view to UIView will be fixed in place and not move with the tableview. It is basically a drop down menu that I have built. It has nothing to do with the cells of the tableview. Photo example <p> In that photo they have a camera button over the top of the table view, the camera button is probably in a UIView

Hi Russell.

This StackOverflow Question should help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4641879/how-to-add-a-uiview-above-the-current-uitableviewcontroller

If you don't get on with the above you could re-build your UITableViewController in a UIViewController to achieve the desired results in Interface Builder. (Add a UITableView, link DataSource / Delegate - copy & paste the delegate methods etc).

Hope this helps!
