iOS Using "Create Class Files" in IB

[theagentx]

Just a quick question If this is too stupid, let me know....

Let's say I have created a simple TableView in IB for an iPhone application created off of the Windowed Application template in Xcode...

I have a table View with a tool bar at the top and a "Done" button in it.

In IB there is a feature "Create Class Files"

Lets say I use this and it will create class file in Xcode for: on for the button, one for the tool bar, one for the Table...etc...

Is this good practice to do this?
Is it bad practice?
Should they be in separate classes?

well, I don't see a reason why, for example, you would need to subclass the button. and if you don't subclass it you don't need a class file for it. if you DO subclass it for some reason, I would create a .m and .h file for that button. putting multiple classes in one file gets pretty confusing

I always work in the other direction. I create files and add outlets, actions, properties in Xcode. I obviously edit the UI in IB.

I think you'll be happier going from Xcode to IB for textual things.
