That sounds useful, I'll check it out, thanks. > In most cases you should not be algorithmically generating your UI anyway. Is > there a reason you can't just set up your control in IB? Yes, because the UI is algorithmically generated :-). Well, a large portion of it anyway. Here's an example: http://www.jomeder.com/rendernode.jpg Most of the functionality from our application comes from what are basically plugins and they describe parameters in a way that we can generate a UI from that description. It's not perfect but it's slowly progressing towards something I might lay out manually. It has been more awful in the past. We try to size and lay out controls appropriately on Mac and Windows.
