I've been looking for a way to create a custom container view so I
can instantiate as many as I need and add them as subviews in a
window. I thought I could make a subclass of NSView with a few text
views in it, instantiate it in a nib, connect the outlets and have it
ready to use. Of course, this doesn't work. I was able to make the
views and drop them with the code below but the subviews are not
connected to the outlets and they don't draw.
- (void)windowControllerDidLoadNib:(NSWindowController *) aController
{
[super windowControllerDidLoadNib:aController];
// Add any code here that needs to be executed once the
windowController has loaded the document's window.
NSWindowController* myController = [[self windowControllers]
objectAtIndex:0];
NSWindow* myWindow = [myController window];
NSView* mainView = [myWindow contentView];
NSRect initPos = {{0.0, 0.0}, {200.0, 100.0}};
planBoxView* newView = [[planBoxView alloc] initWithFrame: initPos];
[mainView addSubview: newView];
[newView setNeedsDisplay: YES];
}
I can see in the debugger that the view I make this way is added but
its outlets are nils.
I want to make views for a project planner like MS Project. I want
one view with a few subviews connected to outlets. I was hoping that
I could make a view in IB and use it to drop them into my window on
the fly. Is there way to do it this way with IB or do I need to lay
my custom view out programatically ?
Is there a tech note for this ? I just can't find any Apple example
code that covers this kind of thing.
