What happened to "User Defined Runtime Attributes" under the Identity inspector in Interface Builder when building iPhone UIs? I used to define a custom outlet for UITableView's tableHeaderView in versions before 3.1/3.2 or when it might have disappeared. ...
Hi again, the app I want to create will have an interface very like Keynote, with a list of pages on the left and one page in full on the right. These kinds of interfaces are very common yet I don't know how to do them in Interface Builder. Are there any ready-made components? Apple doesn't offer any, afaik. Or does every developer re...
IBCocoaSimulator crashes when IB cannot find the framework, I assume that happens to you too. I can run IBCocoaSimulator without crash, when I manually copy my framework+ibplugin from the build dir into /Users/username/Library/Frameworks. I'm doing this with Finder, this is not optimal, but works. I have searched for a smarter way and ...
I've noticed that if you load connected views from a nib you have to override initWithCoder if you want to add initialization code because the designated initializer doesn't get called (which does make sense), and if you don't load the view from a nib then the same code needs to be executed in the designated initializer. So in order to ...
Hello! I would like to set up a proxy object in the application NIB file. The problem is that the NIB file is the main application NIB that gets loaded automatically by the application and therefore I cannot set up the UINibProxiedObjectsKey dictionary as described in the documentation.

I've got a UIToolbar in Interface Builder and I've noticed that it's locked to being 44px tall. Ideally I'd like to make this larger. Do Apple allow resizing of this control? and if so, how do I go about it? ...
Hey, I'm looking for an in-depth breakdown/explanation of the iphone's view usage. Like, what controllers have what types of views, how they relate (child <> parent), how they can be nested, added and removed, etc. Preferably something with some pictures would be nice too (I'm a visual learner). But yeah, in-depth, technical, explana...
After always running monolithic blocks of code from within my AppController object, I've just learned how to modularize my code using separate model controller objects (so much neater and less confusing to work with :-)) My simple test app has a main AppController and two model objects (Model1 and Model2). I can successfully pass data f...
In interface builder I select the Tab Bar Controller item. The inspector shows me a list of associated view controllers. For any strange reason, I can not define anywhere the exact name for an view controller. I have an DetailsViewController and an SetupViewController. However, I can only select generic names such as "Navigation View con...

I'm creating a number of static custom UITableViewCells and have dragged a UISegmentedControl onto one of the custom cells. Whilst the segmented control allows me to alter its width I cannot alter its height in Interface Builder (that property is greyed out on 44 in the 'size' section of the property inspector). I know that a UISegmen...

I usually don't use interface builder but from what I have gather it seems that interface builder if mostly for building self contained window. Is it possible to create a view with IB and then import this NIB file and use it as a subview? ...

I'm just starting out with interface builder and I'd like to create a tabbed, single window app similar in design to Coda or Versions. However, i can't figure out what approach I should be taking. I think I'll probably need to create my own tab bar and some sort of controller to load/unload different 'views', but what should the individ...
