How do I pull a UIView out of a UITableView created via storyboard?

Question

So I'm more or less trying to do this:

How to embed a UITableView in a UIScrollview

however, I can't seem to figure out how to obtain a 'subview' (I use quotes as I'm not sure it's officially a subview per the API however it lives within another view of a VC) so that I can then set it as the UITableView's header. Additionally, going through all the options available in the storyboard I don't see how to set it as the UITableView's header there either. I would greatly appreciate any help!

Relevant storyboard shots, here is the hierarchy:

And here's what the UITableViewController itself looks like. I'm trying to set the grey block as the header so that it doesn't scroll:

Programmatically this is what I'm looking to accomplish (assuming I'm on the right track!):

UIView *viewForHeader = [[self tableView] SOMEWAYTOGETTHEINNERVIEW?];
[[self tableView] setTableHeaderView:viewForHeader]

and if I can somehow set the view as the header in XCode 5 with iOS 7 that would be great as well! It seems in older versions for this situation the view would default as the header:

Answer 1

You can create a custom class that inherits from UITableView and set your table view to be that class. Then you can create an outlet from that view to your custom class. Like so:

CustomTableView.h

@interface CustomTableView : UITableView
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *viewForHeader;
@end

And then the code you were trying to do:

UIView *viewForHeader = [self tableView].viewForHeader;
[[self tableView] setTableHeaderView:viewForHeader]
