I have been working with Xcode 4.2.1, but following some tutorials and videos from the earlier version of Xcode.

As usual I had the problem with the Windows Based Application. I created a empty application for my Windows Based Application project and was following some steps from the same forum of how to add a MainWindow.xib file to my project using this post

There is no .xib file when I create a new "Empty Application" in XCode

I also followed one more post which has some good screenshots:

Now my problem is I cannot ctrl+drag of the window outlet from the App Delegate object to the Window object. The reason is I could not find out the window outlet from tze attributes menu. One can see the screenshot of how it is looking in my xcode:

And below one can see how it should have a windows outlet for the App Delegate.
Actually how it should be looking

Is there anything I am missing or left something behind before coming there. I followed the steps exactly as mentioned in the above posts. I tried creating new projects just to make sure Im doing everything correct.

Any information regarding this would be appreciated.

Thanks
Raaks

    From your tutorial..

    http://www.trappers.tk/site/2011/06/16/mainwindow-xib/

    The answer to your problem is Simple(and also this is the way you should do most of the time in future..)

    1) Click on File’s Owner(In the placeholder section..left to the xib).

    2) In the attributes section you will see a window Outlet..

    3) Drag window from the attributes section(right click-drag or ctrl-drag.) and drop it on window in Objects window..(left to the xib)
