This question was asked recently on the carbon-dev list and the answer was that there is no way to automate the process, nor even a method to get you part-way. Unfortunately this is likely to be one of those painful transitions for you...

It would be a nightmare to recreate them by hand... , especially for the big
project which needs to move to Cocoa..


No better method?

Hi:

There is no way to automatically convert a Carbon Interface Builder
Document into a Cocoa Interface Builder Document.
You are going to need to recreate all of your Carbon dialogues in Cocoa.
By hand.

My Carbon nib contains a lot of dialogs. I want to make it be used by
another cocoa application and don't want to create all those dialogs and
econstruct the entire control hierarchy manually in the Interface Builder.
I don't care about connections, I'll wire them up myself. I'm just hoping
to avoid repeating the layout work.


The Cocoa nib uses binary file objects.nib which is different with the xml
file used byCarbon nib . I can't find any way to convert it with either
Interface Builder or nibtool.


Does anyone know of an automated method for doing the conversion? Or
method to create Cocoa NIB without using Interface Builder?


I found two related questions here but no more answers..
