Re: Nib files and outlets

I could do that, but in this case, I'm responding to a user clicking a
button which brings up an info window. If the info window isn't loaded
I load it. After it is loaded I want to set it up with the right info.
Using awakeFromNib would give the user the opportunity to trigger
something else (although for a very short time). It would be a bad user
experience to be able to do other things before the window shows up.
Could I loop until the nib is loaded? Or is there a call to force the
nib to load?

Best
Björn
