Thanks. One trouble - I checked and I didn't find any runtime cocoa class creation - they seem to have special Cocoa views for AU. But I'm worried about this, because even if I'd create special classes for all interfaces (which is sick, but ok...) by subclassing my default view class, what is the odds that the god damn system will use the class from the first loaded module anyway, they will be there too obviously. Any ideas? Or can you point me out into Juce, where the thing is supposed to be?
