NSView nib (as template)

I found questions similar to this in the list
archive but did not find the answer...

Is it possible to have a nib file that simply
contains an NSView (or subclass) resource,
and load this as a template for objects
created at runtime and added to windows?
I do not want the nib-view to represent a
single instance, nor even a single-instance
per-window (the view in question represents
a set of controls pertaining to a "channel",
and the number of channels varies from
document to document).

I guess what I'm after is something similar
to the PowerPlant LView resource functionality,
where you can load a view resource with all of its
subviews, controls, etc., instantiate an
object, and then put that object wheverer you
want it (in a dialog, window, etc.).

I'm experimenting without success so far,
but is there someplace where this type of
use of Cocoa nib files is documented?

TIA,
Chris Corbell
