The problem there is that I end up with multiple copies of a set of controls, so if I want to make changes to the layout or connections I have to do it for each copy. What I'm going for, in effect, is a custom NSView-based control, but I'm hoping I can create it via IB rather that programmatically.

I'd like to create a custom NSView in IB by creating a new View object, adding some standard controls, and creating some connections. I know how to do that but I only end up with one instance of the view. What I'd like to do from there is create multiple instances of that same view with the same controls in it, dragging them into a window in my nib file. Is there any way to do this easily?

You can move the controls and preserve connections by using the pop-n-drag-n-drop trick. Open the view, select all, click and hold on any control until they all "pop" off the canvas and then drag them to another view.

Or just copy and paste, or Alt-drag, the whole thing.

Downsides: will not bring over the view itself and it moves, not copies. The latter can be worked around when moving between nib's by reverting the source nib after moving.

Which works inside one NIB and between more of them as well. --- Ondra Čada OCSoftware: email@hidden http://www.ocs.cz private email@hidden http://www.ocs.cz/oc
