Yes, most definitely. I have created many a program that
programmatically created it's windows.
I suggest using IB for as much as possible, (even use it to put
views together, etc.), and then instantiate a window, stick the
controls in to the window, move them around, etc.
It makes things like tab orders, setting all of those accessors,
etc. for more difficult, but there are definitely times when you
may find it easier to build the window yourself.
But it is far more time consuming and difficult.
May I ask - why do you think you need to be able to do this? What
is IB not providing that you think you need to be able to do the
work you want to do?

Evening All,
I realise that NIB files and the integration of Project Builder
and Interface Builder makes Cocoa GUI development relatively
straightforward, but say I wanted to create an application that
had a Aqua GUI but used no NIB files whatsoever, could it all be
done programatically like in the days before we had NIB files?
