MulleConnectInspector Description

Drop in replacement for the ConnectInspector in InterfaceBuilder MulleConnectInspector will fully replicate the built-in inspector and will also add the following features:· Improved discovery of outlets and target methods· An interface to add new connection types on top of 'Outlet' and 'Target/Action'· Connections can have paths as their destinations The first, less glamorous feature, can hardly be seen but it is quite powerful. Normally, when forming a connection InterfaceBuilder uses static information from parsed header files to determine which outlets and/or target methods an object has. MulleConnectInspector implements this as default behaviour but allows your object to implement certain methods and return additional/alternative outlets and targets. This means for example that an embedded interpreter can have methods defined in its scripts listed in the connect inspector so that, say, a button can be connected directly to one of the script methods.By implementing a subclass of MKConnectionType you can have the connect inspector handle new types of connections that you have implemented yourself, something similar to EOAssociations maybe.InstallationThe MulleConnectInspector project comprises a framework and an InterfaceBuilder palette. Build and install both in a suitable directory, then load the palette into InterfaceBuilder. You can tell if you are using the MulleConnectInspector by looking at the Outlets label above the browser
