Given the recent/ongoing discussion about bypassing Interface
Builder I have one question/issue for which IB does not seem to
provide any solution. Interface Builder and NIBs are nice and have
many advantages but I am missing a way to build different versions
of nib files depending on Project targets/settings. I'm wondering
how others handle this?
I generally split up the NIB into several NIBs. That way, I can
load the master NIB containing the window, and then load the sub-
NIBs using NSViewController depending on which version of the app
is built.
Thanks! That is basically the advice I got from Jon Hess and David
Wilson. It transfers some of the burden to runtime but I guess this
is generally the best way to get this done. It also seems to have
other advantages like less complex nibs and better support for
version control (svn).
I also have some view classes not unlike Javas GridBag and similar
that arrange their subviews and, when used as a window's content
view, can resize the window to fit their contents. Comes in very
handy for all sorts of dynamic view arrangements, including using
bindings to show/hide non-applicable parts and having the window
magically re-layout in response to that. Though in that case I
often just embed the views in an NSView that have to be shown/
hidden together, without loading them from separate NIBs.
Yes, I can see how that would help. I guess I'll be keeping that in
mind when constructing and adding to my personal library of reusable
classes.
