Hi all,
Could someone please point me to some documentation that helps
understand when I should use multiple NIBs and when I should just use
the same NIB for all of my GUI windows / panels.
Hi,
Good practise is to put elements which are part of your main
application/document interface into one nib, and put other less used
interface elements (e.g. dialogs, inspectors, preferences etc) into
other nib files, usually one per interface element. The main aim is to
avoid loading un-necessary interface at runtime. Load only what is
essential in your main nib and then load the rest of the interface
on-demand.
If you main nib becomes very complex, then you might also want to
think about breaking this down too. Not for runtime reasons, but to
make the nib itself less complex and more managable.
