P.S. I have had some experience with GTK's Glade and Borland's C++
Builder. Is there anything like GTK's Glade for Cocoa - what basicly
generates source code for given piece of GUI, which one (I'm
oversimplifying here) needs to call from main(). I need something I
can look into and understand what is going on.
No. Code-generating GUI builders is not how it's done here. Freeze
dried objects is the way, for many good reasons.
I just want to point out that code generation is not "The Way" with
gtk+ either. Sure, glade has code-generation abilities, but it's
frowned upon by the bulk of the community. The "proper" way is to
create the interface in Glade UI builder, output the XML file, and use
libglade to create the GUI from the interface file.... Sound familiar?
Surprise, surprise - just like IB and nib files ;)
Furthermore, good luck and have fun maintaining your extra seven
trillion lines of code. ;-p
Like Pandaa already said, I'd rather spend a few minutes clicking
around with a mouse than several hours sifting through pages and pages
of a hard-coded GUI.
