Hi all,
I'm getting myself thoroughly confused about setting up toolbar items
in IB. Previously I've never bothered - just handled the whole toolbar
thing in code. But the new IB seems to support setting this up in the
nib.
I can place a toolbar in my window, and I can add items to it. I can
set the delegate outlet of the toolbar to my document controller.
What I can't do is to tie any outlets to the toolbar items or set any
actions or targets for the items. IB's interface doesn't even let me
select the items individually, and I cannot assign my own identifiers
to them.
At runtime, when the nib is loaded, the pre-installed items are there
but they have been assigned identifiers which are UUID strings. My
delegate gets called and I can add additional custom items just as I
would if I were doing it all in code, but for the nib-supplied items,
I get nothing. Since the identifiers are assigned UUIDs somewhere
there's no way to know what identifier to use to retrieve an item from
the bar and fix up its target/action.
The whole ability to set up toolbars in IB appears to be useless to me.
So before I ditch it all and go back to doing it the harder-but-saner
way, can anyone point me in the direction of something that will help
me make any sense of this?
tia,
Graham
