Hi there,
I've been looking through the Sketch example applications, and I have
come up with a question to which I can find no answer. Perhaps one of
you can help me.
Sketch is a simple vector drawing application, and there is an
inspector you can use to view/modify the properties of the shapes that
are on the canvas. However, the different sorts of shapes all share the
same sort of inspector. I would like to determine a way for each shape
to have its own type of inspector. Now, that sounds easy, and so we
come to my real question.
It seems that most of the interface components that I can build in
interface builder are in some fashion window-based - the top level
component is a window or a panel or somesuch. Is it unreasonable for me
to want to use interface builder to lay out the interface of my various
inspectors, and then load those components (and attach them to a
window) at runtime, somehow ? In other words, I am wondering if the top
level component must in fact be some sort of window or panel ... or
should I just create these inspector user interfaces completely
programmatically ? Just to clarify, I realize that I could easily do
what I am asking and have a separate window for each type of inspector,
but that is not what I want to do.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I have tried to search the
archives, but can't find anything.
-Paul
