Solution

Here is a simple way, hope it helps you.

//in subclassed UIView 
#import "CustomView.h"
@implementation CustomView

 - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
 { 
  self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
  if (self) {
    // Initialization code
    // initilize all your UIView components
    UILabel *label1 = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20,30, 200, 44)];
    label1.text = @"i am label 1";
    [self addSubview:label1]; //add label1 to your custom view

    UILabel *label2 = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20,80, 200, 44)];
    label2.text = @"i am label 2";
    [self addSubview:label2]; //add label2 to your custom view



    [label1 release];//i am using without ARC, comment if u are using ARC
    [label2 release];//i am using without ARC, comment if u are using ARC
  }
   return self;
  }



   // in your class where u want to use that view
  #import "ViewController.h"
  #import "CustomView.h"//import it

  @interface ViewController ()

  @end

  @implementation ViewController

 - (void)viewDidLoad
  {
     [super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    //create your view where u want
    CustomView *cv = [[CustomView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 230, 400)];   //create an instance of your custom view
     [self.view addSubview:cv]; // add to your main view
    [cv release];//comment if u are using ARC
 }
