I’m working on a program that does digital signal processing on the audio tracks of a Quicktime Movie.
I have a NSWindow that has a NSTabView. The window has some drawers that open when one of the tabs is clicked on. One of the tabs draws a digital oscilloscope, another draws graphs and a third some DSP graphics The drawers contain NSView's with text boxes for parameters of the graphics and checkboxes for graphic features.
As each view has a NSViewController, I’m having troubles finding examples of how I construct an appropriate nib. For example. The graphics view has several boolean flags and scalars that control aspects of the graphs and these properties are associated with the graphics NSView. The corresponding drawer has check boxes for the booleans and text boxes for the scalars and has it’s own NSView and NSViewController. When I hook up these outlets for the NSViewController so their targets are the properties in the NSView, they don’t work.
My fundamental conundrum is that the NSViews for the graphics are associated with NSTabViewItems and these do not appear to be supported in Xcode 5 interface builder. If I tell a generic object that it’s a NSTabViewItem it does not expose a view outlet. Moreover, how one associates a NSVIewController with a NSTabViewItem is a bit confounding.
Can someone point me to some sample code or documentation that deals with these issues?
Thanks,
