Hello,
I would like to ask if it is possible to create/add user interface to my application (not an iPhone/iPad/iPod app) using Xcode. If it is possible i would be graceful if someone add a tutorial or give me some tips .
Thanks
OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
Sure, Xcode can create application user interfaces, that is one of the things that it is designed to do. For a more constructive answer, it would help a bit to know what language(s) you are using for your application and specifically what you are wanting to do.
okay for example lets say something easy. I want to build a calculator. I want to add 2 text boxes witch the user will be able to type numbers and 2 buttons (1 calculate and 1 erase). For now i am using C++
Apple's languages of choice are Objective-C (older) and Swift (newer). These are what Xcode is primarily set up to use, although the runtime allows C, Objective-C, C++ and Swift code to run within a single program. You can use C++ for your application, but to link against the various Cocoa frameworks (which are in Objective-C), Objective-C or Swift wrappers will need to be used for your user interface and C++ objects. A typical application layout would use Objective-C or Swift for the user interface, calling into C/C++ libraries as needed.
For your example, normally you would use the Interface Editor to create the text fields and buttons and connect them to outlet properties and action methods defined in your code. There are quite a few tutorials and example applications using Objective-C and Swift, not so much for using C++ in Xcode.
