Graph IDE ► Custom Application ► Container View

The container view loads a Graphic View from a Graph IDE Document without programming. All that is required is to make a few settings in a Xcode interface file per the following instructions.

• Make a Graph IDE document with the requisite configuration, save it (for example sake say the name is MyDocument) and then add it as a resource to a Xcode project.

• Add a Custom View to the application window.

• In the Identity inspector of that custom view set its class to VVPUBLIC_GraphicContainerView. Then in the User Defined Runtime Attributes add a new row and assign:

  Key Path	:	documentName
  Type	:	String
  Value	:	MyDocument

• If needed connect the controller outlet to the nib file owner or other controller object.

There is no programming API for the container view. The container view class (VVPUBLIC_GraphicContainerView) is subclassed from public classes so there is no further API that needs resolved. It does, however, require that the appropriate frameworks be linked into the project. For that information consult the HandsOff section.

The container view takes care of loading the graphic view into an interface at runtime. The burden of programming falls upon the Programming of that graphic view. That programming is done well in advance of using a container view to load the graphic view into a separate application.
