Mike,
So I should use NSBrowser or an NSCollectionView to manage the different
icons that will be in the window. But to do this, do I need to subclass the
NSControl or the NSCell or both or will the NSCollectionView/NSBrowser handle
the draw of the icons/images w/text?

Trying to recreate this much behaviour yourself is almost certainly a

and I have no clue where to start since the object model is quite a

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.
