Good to hear that!

I'm just happy now that I have a working recipe as I'll be adding three more custom classes to my palette soon.

Do you have a blog? Would you be interested in writing a little about your experiences developing your IB palette? I think this is a very interesting and useful area of Cocoa, but woefully under-documented. So I'd be very interested in any experiences anyone would perhaps want to share about this.

No blog, but I one day will be putting together a document with some "recipes". The goal will be to also provide a sample palette with multiple items. At least one item will implement a container. Others will be simple NSView derivatives or more complex NSControl/NSCell derivatives.


In particular, I haven't found any information about how I can add my own "connections" to the inspector for a particular object, e.g. to implement target-action.

Did you do anything like this? Are there any docs anywhere that detail this?

I didn't do any custom connections, so can't help there.

You're correct in stating that the docs are hardly there. Many google searches for IB APIs simply return a few hits - usually to Sun's site or some mirror of the older NeXT documentation.

Right now I'm doing some trial-and-error stuff regarding loading images from a parent Xcode project. While I do have code that can hunt down and load the images, such code isn't being invoked when my nib document opens. I'm hoping to find a solution by listening to IBDidOpenDocumentNotification notifications.

As you can imagine, doing things trial-and-error hardly makes for any progress. But things are slowly getting there and I'm being careful to write all this stuff down :)
