What I do is to group the custom view instance into a box and make an
outlet to the box. Thus, my view is the box's contentView. I can now
replace some other object's contentView with it. So for example (this is
pretty much just lifted right out of the Learning Cocoa book):
aView = [[myBox contentView] retain];
[aView removeFromSuperview];
[ourWindow setContentView: aView]; // or whatever
[aView release];
