Hi,
I want to use IB to create NSMatrices of my subclass of NSCell. Is
this
possible?
I want to use IB rather than doing it programatically because I
want to be
able to easily change layouts etc.
This probably is doable, if you write an IB palette that includes
the code for your cell class. Your cells will have to be able to
archive themselves (implement -encodeWithCoder: and
-initWithCoder:). On your palette, you can put a matrix whose
prototype cell and cell class are your custom subclass.
Not really, on your palette you put a NSControl subclass that
contains your cell. Just like NSButton, NSSlider etc work.
Oh, cool! It's simpler than I thought. So, does it need to be an
NSControl, or does it just need to respond to -cell?
Yes it needs to be a control and respond the the cell method, just like
the rest of the AppKit.
There is a method in IB that the control needs to support.
- (BOOL)allowsAltDragging
should return YES.
Look in IBViewProtocol.h in the IB framework
