Q: 

why using NSArray (and other non-display graphic element) into Interface Builder

Hi, using IB, i found that you could use NSArray not in a programatic way. I was thinking, great, i can make sets of uiviews into an NSArray and then get a proper outlet in xcode and retreiving all my uiviews from the NSArray.

The fact is when i put a NSArray into the nib file, i can't do nothing into it's property list. So the fact is i don't use the NSArray the correct way it should be. So is there anyone who could explain me how can i use my nsArray the way i want to? This will explain me why using non-display class into the nib file, and the purpose of it. Thanks.

A: 

You can instantiate an NSArray instance in a nib file using the "Object" item in the IB library...but you probably don't want to.

Yeah, too bad IB can't provide into the xml some custom data for NSArray for example. Still i just don't get it for all the classes you can get from a nib file if this is just to make them into delegates object. I mean this can be made from xcode as easy they're made in IB.
