Title: Re: can I see all control IDs of dialog at one time in Int
Thanks, Kevin.

It's better than Inspector/Window, although I really could use something more like Resorceror's "Show Item Numbers" to float the control ID over each item in the window itself.

This legacy code I'm updating relies heavily on the original DLOG resource's item numbers to access individual items, and switching between two views to identify each item's control ID is still pretty slow.

Still, I appreciate the help, and the quick response. Thanks again.

Steve,

In the document window of your nib file, if you switch to the outline view and expand the entire outline (option-click on the disclosure triangle for a top-level item), then you can see all of the objects listed with their corresponding Object IDs. If the Object ID's are not showing up for you, right click on a column heading, and then select "ID" from the pop-up.

This is not the same as overlaying the IDs across a window, but it should give you a quick way of glancing through the IDs. If you are just searching for a particular ID, you can always just use the search field in the document window.

Hello,

In Interface Builder, I have a complex palette with dozens of active items that was imported from a DLOG resource.

The Inspector/Window lets me see the list of control IDs for these items at one time.

Is there a way to have the control ID appear over each item in the window, the way Resorceror would do with its "Show Item Numbers" menu item?

If not, is there another (perhaps third-party) .nib editor that will?

Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere, but I searched for an existing answer without success.
