Create Object After Build?

[ArtOfWarfare]

Is there a way to create additional user objects that weren't added in IB programmatically after the build? Like, if I wanted to allow users to add their own text boxes and drag them around by hitting a button.

I'm sorry, the question sounds dumb, but all I've ever heard of is using IB to add user interface elements.

anything you can create in IB you can also do programatically.

to create a new UITextField programatically, you would allocate memory for it and then initiate one with a frame according to a core graphics rectangle. so something like this:


UITextField *myTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 25, 150)];

I don't use IB at all! I create all my UI at runtime. It actually seemed easier when I wrote my app. If I ever get the time to write another I'd probably do the same thing again.

I've written it both ways. One app uses mostly nibs and the most recent does it mostly in code. I think I prefer the latter.

Thanks for the bit of help Darkroom. :)
