You can implement copying of a view by archiving and immediately
unarchiving the root view.
Something like this (written on the phone, don't expect this to parse
correctly immediately):
-(id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone {
return [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:
[NSKeyedArchiver archiveDataWithRootObject:self]];
}

Hi all,
I was trying to find a way to design a replicable view in IB.
The behaviour I'm trying to replicate is the one of
NSCollectionView: it
gets a custom view designed in IB as the prototype view and then
replicates
it to display its contents. Is there an easy way to do this? Since
NSView
does not implement the copy method, I don't think this is the approach
taken.
The hard solution would be to provide a copy method myself that
replicates
all the subviews and controls (which are also subviews), but it
would be
very long and difficult since for each subview all the instance
properties
must be replicated, without talking about sub-subviews. Since I
don't want
to go throug all this, is there an easier way to do it?
Thank you very much.
Cheers.
