I am very new to objective C and working on some application which needs to create Chat bubbles similar to iChat.
Can anybody help me to find some documentation or the sample code which will help me to make chat bubbles using custom cell.


That sounds like something that would be way over the top for a beginner's project, unless you have a lot of experience with vector drawing on other platforms. But FWIW, I suspect iChat internally uses a WebView to draw the chat area. You can probably also MacGuyver such a view by using NSCollectionView, NSBezierPath, and text drawing, using NSLayoutManager to calculate the sizes of the text. Good luck...
