Loading existing NIB file from Cocoa?
HI all, I've got an audio plug-in that supports Windows and Carbon, and is being updated to support Cocoa (when the audio host is Cocoa-based). On the Carbon side of things, I've got a .nib file that contains a few dialogs that I need to present to users, and I'm wondering if and how I can use this older .nib file in Cocoa. When I try to load the nib using NSBundle loadNibNamed:, I get the following error: Unable to load the Interface Builder file xx.nib because the object archive is missing. Valid nib files must contain either keyedobjects.nib, objects.nib, or data.nib. I'm not sure how to proceed here. Is it possible to modify my .nib file in some manner so that it works in Cocoa (and still works in Carbon)? Or, do I have to make a new .xib for use with Cocoa, essentially doubling the work and resources in order to support both types?

You will need to recreate your interface in a Cocoa nib. You should also consider removing or at least deprecating your Carbon nib. --Kyle Sluder ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

As the error message says (or at least implies), Cocoa NIBs are archives of Objective-C objects, not just shareable specs. They are nothing like Carbon NIBs; you have to maintain them separately. Carbon has had curtailed utility for the last three major versions of the OS — nearly five years now. I hear (from Wikipedia) that it's officially deprecated in Mountain Lion, so I guess you'll start seeing compiler warnings later this year. You know best, but do you really have to support Carbon any more? — F ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
