RE: Creating controls dynamically (Rohit Bhatia)

Hi,
  You are right, I want to display undetermined number of images. I was
able to create NSImageViews at run time after some tweaking to my code.
Now, when my initWithFrame function is called, I store the reference to
my main View. Later on (upon an action) I add a new NSImageView as a
subview to the main one. I haven't used the NIB file for it, I just
created it as just another object, is there any difference if I use the
NIB file for it?

This is how I am storing a reference to my Main View right now.
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect) frameRect
{
   myMainImageView = self;
}

It works fine, is there a better method to do it (may be the NIB file).

Later on, on an action, I add subviews to this main view.

Thanks for the help.
Rohit

Hi,

Your code seems to show that you want to  display undetermined number of
images during runtime. I feel the best way to do this is to use a
seperate nib file with a instantiated object which is a sub-class of
NSView(or NSImageView).

You can then load the nib file as and when you want and set an image of
your choice to the sub-class of NSView on the nib file. After loading
and setting the image you can add that sub-class of NSView as a sub-view
of your main view.

Try this and if you face any problem implementing this mail me back.
