Is it possible to design NSCell subclasses in Interface Builder?

Question

I\'m trying to subclass NSCell for use in a NSTableView. The cell I want to create is fairly complicated so it would be very useful if I could design it in Interface Builder

Add your UITableViewCell to your tableviewcontroller and declare an IBOutlet property:

@interface KuguTableViewController : UITableViewController {
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *customTypeCell;
}

@property (readonly)  UITableViewCell *customTypeCell;

... then in cellForRowAtIndexPath you can just use your cell and set it to be reused:

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"CustomCell"
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
        cell = customTypeCell;
        cell.reuseIdentifier = CellIdentifier;
