Seems
to me the standard way of doing this is to somehow just save the
custom view
to a separate nib, and reinstantiate it from that nib. Is that
correct?
Doesn't sound right.
The custom view shouldn't normally need outlets to the other views,
but the controller that handles them typically would do. This
controller, which is likely to be a NSWindowController subclass, is
"File's Owner". It might have an outlet to the custom view but it
doesn't need to have.
If the nib overall doesn't represent a window (why not?) then "File's
Owner" would represent some other object in your app (usually a
controller of some sort) and it would still have the outlets to the
various controls.
"Something has to run to hook them together". Yes, but it happens
automatically when the nib is loaded - it's not something you need to
worry about usually.
Something somewhere is a bit muddled, since I'm having trouble really
understanding what *you* are misunderstanding... perhaps you could
give a bit more context about what this is and how you are trying to
use it.
