Toolbar items added to a toolbar not visible in Interface Builder 3

Hello,

I am fairly inexperienced with Cocoa development. I am having a problem in that I cannot see items that I have added to a toolbar in Interface Builder 3.

I have a project's MainMenu.nib open. I drag an NSToolbar onto the window. I can see the default toolbar items both in the design window and when I run in Simulate Interface mode. I then drag an ImageToolbarItem onto the toolbar.

Now I cannot see the newly added NSToolbarItem either in the design view or when I run Simulate Interface. Setting the toolbaritem's image to "NSPreferencesGeneral" (the lightswitch icon used for general preferences in many preferences windows, e.g. the Finder) made no difference.

I have read the Interface Builder documentation via the XCode 3 documentation window (currently up to date) but the NSToolbar class reference still has a last updated date of 2006 so it is still the old version. I also searched Google but I haven't found anything relating to this issue.

There are various articles dealing with pre-IB3 behaviour which show how to implement three required delegate methods.

So my questions are:

Why does IB3 not show the toolbar items that I added via the IB library?
Is it still necessary to implement the delegate methods?


Thank you,

Timothy Mowlem
