ViewDeck with Storyboard

Question

I have some problems with ViewDeck with my app.
I'm trying to use it with storyboard and the examples only shows how to use it with nibfiles. I have checked out many ways to do it here on stackexchange but i don't seem to get it to work.

My code in appdelegate.m file:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

    //UIViewController* leftController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];

    UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];

    RightViewController* rightController = [[RightViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RightViewController" bundle:nil];

    ViewController* centerController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil];
    self.centerController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:centerController];
    IIViewDeckController* deckController = [[IIViewDeckController alloc] initWithCenterViewController:self.centerController rightViewController:rightController];

    deckController.rightSize = 100;

    self.window.rootViewController = deckController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;

}

I of course i get the expected error:

Here is the code I'm using which works fine:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

    UIStoryboard* mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle: nil];
    UIViewController* menuController = [mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"LeftSideMenu"];

    UINavigationController* navigationController = (UINavigationController *) self.window.rootViewController;
    self.viewDeckController =  [[IIViewDeckController alloc] initWithCenterViewController:navigationController leftViewController:menuController rightViewController:nil];
    self.window.rootViewController = self.viewDeckController;
}

As a follow up to this - when you are setting up the `menuController`, how would you programtically change the `CenterViewController` based on what you select in the menu? I though it was simply `setCenterViewController: NEW_CONTROLLER_NAME`, but this has the effect of resetting the viewController altogether. Thanks! – daspianist Nov 14 '13 at 03:54
I keep a hold of all the view controllers in a dictionary, so my code ends up looking like this:`[self.viewDeckController setCenterController:[self.masterViewController getViewControllerForKey:cell.titleLabel.text]];` – masha Nov 27 '13 at 14:44

Well, solved this myself by using ECSlidingViewController instead, already optimized with storyboard.

Just in case anyone runs into the same problem.

Tried this myself, but after implementing this, it had some drawbacks. First when you drag it it somehow twitches and lags. So i switched to IIViewDeckController. But ECSlidingViewController example project helped me implementing storyboards. – Lukas May 28 '13 at 12:47
