Sure does cover it - quite specifically. Thanks for the reference --
lots of good material there that I need to absorb.

Hey Stuart -
This link should cover your questions: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingResources/CocoaNibs/CocoaNibs.html#/

You're using awakeFromNib for its intended purpose.
Good Luck -

I have a Nib with a single custom NSView subclass. That view has
some controls in it, including an instance of an NSTextView (that
is also subclassed). When the Nib is instantiated, the -
awakeFromNib method of the MyTextView class is invoked, but neither
-initWithFrame: nor -initWithFrame:textContainer: are invoked.
These are the two documented initializers for a NSTextView, so I
thought that one of them would be invoked.
Googling this issue has led me to discover that, for NSTextView, -
initWithCoder gets called instead.
I've never run into this before -- that is, my subclassed NSView
objects have their -initWithFrame: invoked (and NOT -
initWithCoder). Is there something in the documentation that I can
look for, for a class, that would help me know which way the Nib
instantiation functionality will initialize (that is, -initWithCode
versus designated initializer)?
I am doing all my initialization of the instance in the -
awakeFromNib method. This seems to work fine. Just curious if
there's anything I need to be aware of/careful of in this case.
