Hi,
I have been using vstgui in the past, and I have just restarted porting my old framework to use the development tools on Mountain Lion. I have fixed the api changes and now everything seems to work.
I would like to setup my framework now and just forget about it for the foreseeable future, but I am confused about writing views using carbon vs cocoa apis.
For example in TN2207 that Apple daws are actually using a Cocoa window, and overlying a carbon frame is basically a hack.

this technique is not available for hosts built later versions of OS X and/or in 64 bit mode. plus its one hell of a hack even on 10.4.
 
I want to write plug-ins that work consistently from os x 10.6 on and on every daw, either if they use carbon or cocoa apis.

use cocoa. my host supports carbon on 10.4-10.6, and cocoa on 10.4-10.8
 
this is the only sane thing to do. carbon was deprecated over 10 years ago. stop thinking about it, please :)

if you don't want to deal with cocoa (!) then let coreaudio create the GUI for you. it won't look the way you want it to but as long as your plugin accurately documents its parameters, it will work well.
