Hello Chris,
I have tried looking for the image in the bundle of my custom component's class but that doesn't work in Interface Builder neither in my own application. My guess is that the bundle of my custom component is a bundle specific to my framework. A project which links against that framework remains in a separated bundle and thus looking for the image in the custom component's bundle fails when trying to use images introduced by the application.
It is true that using mainBundle must be returning Interface Builder's bundle instead of the application's bundle, but that solution works in the final application unlike the bundleForClass method, unless I have misunderstood which MyView class you were talking about. Thanks for helping me with this.
regards

I have packaged this component in a IBPlugin and designed a custom inspector to configure my custom component at design time by entering the names of the required images. However, my component fails to load the images when it is being configured in Interface Builder. It also used to fail to load when I ran the application which uses the framework which includes this ibplugin, but I already fixed that by searching for the image in the mainBundle.
That way, when your view class is compiled into the Interface Builder plug-in it will look in the plug-in for its images, and when it's compiled into your application it will look in your application for its images. And if you move your view to a framework that's used by both your application and your Interface Builder plug-in, you can move its images along with it and they'll be found there as well.
