Hello Tyler. Here's the problem. The developers who build the Interface Builder know a lot more about Objective C and the various APIS than we do. When people use the Interface builder, much of the heavy lifting is already done for them. Consequently, Authors who write textbooks don't take the time to take us under the hood where we really need to be. Instead, they teach the Interface builder then teach students to write the code for the events. I checked www.overstock.com <http://www.overstock.com> and found it to be a huge general purpose forum. We really need access to comprehensive Objective C documentation, a complete list of the APIS and the documentation for each. Once we learn to build applications programmatically, then we are more competent programmers than our sighted counterparts because we understand what's really going on. In addition, when we use a textbook, we literally have to translate Interface Builder speak into lines of code. The question then is this, where is the Objective C documentation? Where can we find a description of all of the APIS? Can you point us in the right direction?
Thanks so much.

As it happens I find that programmatically linking your UI elements tends to actually work a little better (as it gives you much more control), but for each person it's different :) On Jul 5, 2013, at 1:05 AM, Yuma Antoine Decaux <jamy...@gmail.com <mailto:jamy...@gmail.com> > wrote: Hi, There is a method which i found on the maccessibility news page.

I'm supposed to control drag a button to my assistant editor so that x code can automatically place the appropriate action method and properties to my project.h, project.m and project.xib files. But there is no control drag in voice over. Is this another unsurmountable obstacle or is there actually a method to do this?
