I had recently posted an article about this, and was wondering if
any of my questions are getting through...
Please don't re-post questions to the list; if you aren't getting any
answers, it's because nobody has any answers to give (or occasionally
because the people who do don't have the time to give them).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge if there was a
framework that would allow me to create a Dashboard-like canvas so I
can layout my objects on my document-based application.
Part of the problem in this case is that it isn't 100% clear what you
actually want. e.g. *an* answer to this might be to refer you to
Apple's Sketch sample app.
It might also be worth checking the wiki at <http://www.cocoadev.com>,
as that site has a lot of links to third-party code that might be
interesting to you.
