Trying to recreate this much behaviour yourself is almost certainly a
bad idea. Instead, look into NSBrowser or NSCollectionView.

at Cocoa and I have no clue where to start since the object model is
quite a bit different.
Should I create a sub-class of NSControl or do something else?
I want to have a bunch of icons (like the Finder images including
the text underneath it) in a window. These would be used to traverse
a hierarchy of objects (i.e. double click and it shows another list
of icons). Originally, I was going to implement this all in my
NSView class. But I was thinking that this does not seem to be the
correct way implementing it.
I looked and found something about "Subclassing NSControl" (URL: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ControlCell/Tasks/SubclassingNSControl.html
) but I am not sure if this is the correct approach. If so, what
are the methods I need to override to make sure that the size is
maintained? The control/component will need to react to mouse clicks
but the NSView will be handling the dragging of the position of this
control/component.
