Hi!
I ma currently working on a DirectToJavaClient application. Every now
and then, I need customizability beyond the rule system. I the create a
NIB in Interface Builder and write rules to load the archive and its
matching controller.
This works fine until one reaches the limits of Interface Builder.
Sometimes I just want more, or just more than the crippled Windows
version of IB gives me acces too. Suddenly I end up with Swing code
within the controller class to enhance or override the one generated by
Interface Builder. At some point I guess I'll have to put an end to
this.
Thus for those components that need serious customization I'd much
rather write the Swing code from scratch. I could start from an archive
file generated by IB, but it looks like I'd be stuck with the class
name that implies its generated code.
I could also write a UI class from scratch but I'd lose the
controller/archive separation unless I'd recreate it. Moreover I don't
know how I'd load that from within the rule system.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Pierre.
