Hello,

I am interested in starting a project in objective-c on OSX. However, I was curious as to the ability to dynamicly add componets to the GUI from code.

I guess the whole NIB step gets me lost on this. Is it possible in code up a form and spec a table plus a bunch of text fields should exisit there from code?

Thanks for any info.

Yes, you can instantiate any sort of view you want, configure it, and add in to another view (like a window's contentview) programatically.
For small one shot projects this is fine.

On the other hand if you want to make an GUI which is easily localizable (translatable and resizable) then you are better off using nibs. You can layout your dynamic portions in separate views in the nib and swap them programatically at runtime.
Go peek through nibs in Apple's apps for ideas.
