Hi,
I was thinking if there are people here that working implementing a
Cocoa version of a cross-platform toolkit. I know that at least the
Java GUI libraries are implemented with Cocoa, so this is possible.
How can this be done? Should one try to generate .nib files on the
fly, based on the calls to the framework, or just try to work without
them? Or, of in another way, how?
The problem is basically this: You receive a certain number of API
calls and is responsible for generating a GUI based on that. So you
don't know previously anything about the GUI. Everything is done at
run-time.
I know this is a very generic question, but Cocoa is very different
from other GUI libraries, because they usually allow GUIs to be easely
created from code without the need of external tools or external
files.
thanks,
