在Interface Builder故事板上创建UIView

Question

I have searched for what I want to do but all the answers seem to predate storyboards in iOS, so i'm hoping there is a new and easier way to do it.

I have a view controller that needs the same UIView multiple times. I could create and position them programatically but it would really help me if I could design them in a storyboard and position them visually there. I would prefer not to create an extra .xib file.

I am developing for iOS 6 and there is a new Container View but i cannot seem to understand how it works, maybe somebody can explain it to me. I managed to make the view appear but I cannot communicate between the UIView in the container and the parent UIViewController. I have also seen a way to do this with segues but they said that they shouldn't be used in that way.

No trick, no gimmick

@Chiquis solution is the way to go.

Treat Storyboard as a set of XIB , all neatly organized under a single roof:

1. Copy and paste your UIView in as many UIViewController as you see fit
2. Connect each UIView to its parent UIViewController using IBOutlets
