Re: can I see all control IDs of dialog at one time in Interface Builder?

I wanted to correct one mistake in my response to Steve.

The control ID is different than the Object ID. The control ID is an attribute of Carbon controls, while the Object ID is a notion that exists only in Interface Builder (on all IB objects). For more information about what control IDs are and how they differ from Object IDs, read the following:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/developertools/conceptual/IB_UserGuide/ObjectAttributes/chapter_6_section_8.html

The Outline View in the Document window will display Object IDs, and not control IDs.

Thanks for those who pointed that out.

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.
