Has anyone used PPxViewConverter recently to make a .nib file
readable for CW9's version of PPx?

After converting my PPob to a .nib using Migrator, I drop the
resulant file on PPxViewConverter...the app launches, and then
quits. There's no apparent processing, and no output.

the PPx manual says:
1. Drag and drop the .nib file onto PPxViewConverter

2. In the window that appears, select the items in the .nib file that
you want to convert to PowerPlant X files by clicking their
checkboxes in the Use column

but this doesn't seem to be working. Is there some magic I'm missing?

Has anyone used a .nib file directly in CW10 with luck?

The .ppob format has been deprecated and now using .nib files is the
preferred method of loading your UI.

Yes, although it is possible that it has a few glitches. PPx is now
open sourced on SourceForge and I believe there is at least one person
that was talking about updating the code that creates PPx windows from
nib files.

I haven't upgraded to v10 yet, but I see that I can use the SourceForge
version of PPx to load data from nibs.

So I can now load a window from a nib using a call like this?

PPx::Window* myWindow =
PPx::NibDecoder::CreateWindowFromNib <MyWindowClass>
(CFSTR(" MyNibName", CFSTR(" MyWindowName");

Were there any additional PPx demos added to the CW10 release, espeically
ones that construct windows from nibs?

Yes.

The stationery projects did, but there weren't many more examples, if
any, added to Pro 10.
