Creating / Installing IB Palettes
-
Hi,
I'm sure this is covered somewhere, but I can't find the docs for it and the
search engine for the list seems to be broken:
How do I install my own custom InterfaceBuilder plaettes?
I compiled the Palette in /Developer/Examples/..... and I found some old
OpenStep docs that suggest putting it into ~/Developer/Palettes
If I put it there, I get an error in IB telling me that it can't find the
palette bundle, which really isn't a surprise because it keeps looking at
the build location instead of the installation location.
It's probably partly my lack of experience with Project Builder and partly
my ignorance when it comes to doing IB Palettes. :(
So does anyone know where I can find more info?
Thanks

Go into InterfaceBuilder->Preferences... and go to the Palettes tab and
poke "Add"
et voila.

Is there any documentation or examples of what can be done by making a
new palette? What is the basic purpose of making a palette?
Thanks,
Ryan

Documentation:
I'm still looking for it.
Example:
Inside /Developper/Examples/Interface Builder/ProgressView palette
Interest:
Being able to add your own widget within Interface Builder so that you
can initialize your widget data in Interface Builder rather than in the
awakeFromNib Method.

Once you've got an IB palette set up, it will make using
your widget in multiple places or in multiple apps as easy
as it is using the default widgets supplied by Apple.> Documentation:

Without documentation, including comments in the code, these
won't much help folks who don't already know this stuff.> Interest:

This is an interesting clue.

My opinions are probably not those of Nisus Software, Inc. -
Could a IB palette be made to help create a toolbar (NSToolbar) for a
window from Interface builder instead of programatically? This is what
I want to do, but have no idea where to start.

You can't put a NSToolbar in a palette because NSToolbar doesn't currently
support archiving. This is one of the reason we don't support NSToolbar in
IB yet.
