The topic of creating a Cocoa app without using IB has come up many times since I've been on this list, and the general opinion is you should always use IB unless you've got a really good reason not to. IB's not a toy, it doesn't make you any less of a programmer, it's not going anywhere, and it's "just how we do things." :) You may struggle with IB in the beginning, but give it an honest effort and you'll find yourself writing less code and better software.
Perhaps you could give a detailed description of what your UI should look like, and we can tell you the "IB" way to do it? Nothing of what you've mentioned so far is beyond the abilities of IB. Some notes: o "execution-time-specified number of windows": This makes me think you need a document-based app. Also check out NSWindowController. o "text view imbedded in a scroll view": In IB, any text view is by default embedded in a scroll view, no code necessary. Yay. David _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
