Summary: Clang has all the smarts it would need to power this, so it would be great if marking a property of an enum type as IBInspectable should translate the possible values of this enum to the options in an NSPopupButton in IB. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy and paste the following code into a Swift file of some project: public class BigLoada: NSObject { public enum Track: Int { case AJourneyToReedham, FullRinse, Massif, ComeOnMySelector, TheBodyBuilder, TequilaFish, JacquesMalChance } @IBInspectable var favoriteTrack: Track @IBInspectable var bogusAttribute: String? public override init() { favoriteTrack = .ComeOnMySelector super.init() } } extension BigLoada.Track: CustomStringConvertible { public var description: String { switch self { case .AJourneyToReedham: return "A Journey To Reedham" case .FullRinse: return "Full Rinse" case .Massif: return "Massif" case .ComeOnMySelector: return "Come On my Selector" case .TheBodyBuilder: return "The Body Builder" case .TequilaFish: return "Tequila Fish" case .JacquesMalChance: return "Jacques Mal Chance" } } } 2. Create a new xib or storyboard in this project, and instantiate a custom NSObject. 3. Set this instance’s class to BigLoada and open its property inspector. Expected Results: - There are two properties exposed on the “BigLoada” instance: An NSTextField labeled “Bogus Attribute”, and an NSPopUpButton labeled “Favorite Track” - Ideally, the popup button has “Come On My Selector” preselected. (No selection at all/“Default” would be acceptable as well, though.) - When clicking the popup button, you get all the enum cases listed in the order in which they occur in the type. - Optionally, there is an additional “Default” option above a separator item followed by the possible enum cases. - Ideally, the enum cases make use of the custom description, such that the popup resembles the track listing of Squarepusher’s “Big Loada” record. Actual Results: Only the “Bogus Attribute” property is exposed in IB at all. Version: Xcode-beta (8S128d), but any earlier version of Xcode will do, too. Notes: I am very well aware that there are existing radars for this already, and probably since WWDC 2014. But it would be so nice if this would actually be implemented! Configuration: Attachments:
