The ADC / OReilly "Building Cocoa Applications" book by Garfinkle & Mahoney gives a small example program called
Tiny on how to hand build windows (heck a while program) w/o using Interface Builder, etc.

The appropriate chapter (4) starts on page 104. All code examples are available from O'Reilly so you could just download
the Chapter 4 code source as a starting point..

Once you have the main window and NSView you can just use the documentation on NSView on how to add
sub-views, etc. etc. to build up an even more complex window. Also read the various documentation on
NSView chains, etc. on how IB does all this for you and how stuff works..

Of course, the real question is.. Why would you want to go about and do all this work instead of at least
having IB do the preliminary stuff for you and then you just "tweak" it .. :-)

Cheers

I'm looking for information or tutorials on creating windows programmatically and then adding specific views to the window. Are there any links out there that anyone could point me to? I am having trouble wording my searches in a way that actually gives me results.

Thanks,
