I'm am tring to create some custom palettes in with
3.0 IB and ProjectManager. 

I have a few questions.

1> How does one get subclasses of objects (that are
not views) to appear in paletteView.  I can get views
to subclass (just as easily as always) and have them
custom draw themselves, but then they are not really
buttons or buttoncells or whatever it is i want to
create.

2>  Presuming that i get a custom object to appear on
my palette, how do customize the insector for that object?

I know there are simple solutions to these questions
and but there is no documentation on IBPalette in the
beta release of 3.0.

Could someone with some knowledge please point me in the
right direction?  I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You.  Kaveh

If I understand your question correctly, I think what you want to do is to  
create something that will represent your custom object in the Palette  
Menu. What I usually do is just drag a button (and customize it with an  
image/words) that remind me of the object into Palette View. And then link  
that image to the custom object by implementing the associateObject: as  
specified in the documentation. You should take a look at the  
InterfaceBuilder.rtf file in  
/NextLibrary/Documentation/NextDev/ReleaseNotes  and also the  
CustomPalette documentation in the DevTools directory.
