You can design much of your user interface with standard elements such as windows, text fields, and buttons from the Object library. The objects in the library meet Apple’s human interface guidelines and have been tested to ensure that they function properly.
In Interface Builder, select the Object library (
) in the library bar of the utilities area.
In the library pane, locate the object you want to add.
Scroll through the list of objects. To show information about an object, click it and a popover appears. To toggle between the list and icon view, and search for resources, use the controls in the filter bar.
Drag an object from the library to the canvas or to the outline view.
In the canvas, Interface Builder highlights a valid destination in blue. Use the guidelines to position and align the object.
In the outline view, navigate to the place in the outline where you want to add the object, then drag the object into the outline. (If the outline view doesn’t appear, click the Show Document Outline button (
) at the lower-left corner of the canvas.)
