- No, you're not missing anything, you're absolutely right. However, there
- is a way around this. When you build a palette, you can include code for
- classes other than the actual palette View objects. Those classes become
- part of the runtime image of IB, and can be called from Run mode. In the
- extreme, you could make a palette that includes all of the classes from
- your application, load it into IB, and actually run your app inside IB!
- Cool, no?
