You cannot directly instantiate NSWindow(s) and subclasses of NSWindow in IB. What looks like a NSWindow is IB is in fact a template for the Window. You need to drag a NSWindow from the palette and change its custom class (from the custom class inspector).

Hi,
I am new to the list, so please forgive me if my question has been answered recently.
Now my problem: I am porting a small application (Gomoku.app) from GNUstep to Cocoa. While this app uses "hardcoded" menus under GNUstep, I want to use a nib for the menus. So I created the menus in IB and changed the already existing menu actions from (void) to (IBAction) in the .m file and added IBOutlets to the corresponding header file.
Then I imported that class via Read Files from the Classes Menu into Interface Builder. All IBActions and IBOutlets were recognized properly. Then I tried to Instantiate that class to make the connections between the menu and the class. This was not possible since that menu-item of IB was grayed out. Another class of that project did instantiate without problems. The difference of that two classes is that the first is a subclass of NSWindow and the later of NSObject.
How do I instantiate a class in IB that is not a direct subclass of NSObject?

Thanks in advance, Lars
