You don't need to drag and drop header files from Xcode into Interface Builder anymore. All your classes in Xcode should automatically sync up with Interface Builder. If you look at the bottom left corner of your nib's document window, there should be a little green light.

It figures, after sending my message, I should find the answer!

The IB documentation, under "Connections and Bindings", then
"Integrating Your Code with Interface Builder", talks about how you
choose an NSObject, and then use the inspector to specify a subclass.
The object is automatically instantiated.

I'm still unclear on how to connect with XCode, a la the fact that you
can't drag and drop a class header file onto the NIB palette anymore.

So while I agree it's very different, my issue really is that there's
no migration document: no easy way to see what they've changed in one
place.

Cheers,
Aaron.

My radar on this topic came back as a duplicate of a years-old bug.
(Makes you wonder how long IB3 has been in development.)

I'm sticking with IB2 until this is resolved… it's usable on Leopard if
you install Xcode 2.5. IB3 looks cool, but the way controls are grouped
makes them harder to find, and there still seem be gaps in the
functionality, particularly for the Cocoa class hierarchy.

Greetings all.

I've got my copy of Leopard installed and running well. I'm still
learning Cocoa (Hillegass, chapter 21 right now), and things are
proceeding well enough. I was nervous about any updates to XCode, but
turns out that app is substantively unchanged.


Interface Builder is a completely different story. It looks fantastic,
but where the heck is the Class Browser? I need to instantiate a
subclass in the NIB but I don't have a clue where to do it. I went
through the IB documentation, but there's no "What's New" document,
which is shocking considering the changes to this app! It was easy to
find for XCode.


Can anyone either point out the means to instantiate a subclass, or
point me to the docs?

Thanks!
Aaron.
