Eric, I’m not particularly experienced with building complete applications with Python, but this tutorial might get you started?

Ok, this doesn’t really fit here but…

Hey, can you give an example on how to make python work with IB? :)

Or, you know where there might be examples already?

Thanks
Eric

Another nice one I found recently- select something in a window and hold option while mousing over other things to see the number of pixels between the 2 objects. It also works with multiple selections. I wonder if it will change to inches when resolution independence kicks in…

Thanks, that’s a neat tip.

For some reason IB doesn’t highlight custom views not attached to a window this way (e.g. if you dragged a custom view directly into the nib instead of into a window). It’ll highlight UI elements inside the custom view, but not the view itself.

Still pretty cool, even if the floating blue arrow is a little weird.
