That’s a perfectly reasonable way to organize your application, and pretty much why NSViewController exists. You’d have, say, MySidebarController and MyContentController, both subclasses of NSViewController and with their own nibs, which you could instantiate in your NSWindowController subclass or its nib. You’d get your NSViewController subclass’s views, and put them in or use them to replace the appropriate “placeholder” views in your main window. Similarly, when it comes to doing things like creating custom views for things like headers, that’s how it’s done in Cocoa. Custom drawing is done by subclassing, not by using drawing tools on a nib. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
