Please, in IB, can some kind person tell me how to click&select an

nested within a NSSplitView?
I have a NSSplitView with an horizontal divider.
In the bottom view of the splitView I put a NSTabView with 2
NSTabViewItems.
Within the NSTabViewItem n. 1 I put an NSImageView.
Well, now I can't find any way to select the NSTabView and e.g.
change its
size. The only one way to select it is by the hierarchical list, but
I can't
find any way to do that graphically. If I click on the TabView now I
always
select the NSImageView. If I double click I select its image cell.
If I
press escape trying to select the object up in the hierarchy, my
window
closes... Amazing.
I'm guessing that your tab view is tab-less and that the image view
completely fills it? If this is the case, then yes, the clicks are all
going to go to the image view. There isn't a portion of the screen
that shows the tab view. In the absence of something better, try using
the command+control+arrow keys. They allow you to walk the object
hierarchy. You can also use the tab, shift-tab, and space key to walk
the objects in a design window.
I hope that's an acceptable workaround -

Also, think about, if we don't use the hierarchical list to select the
objects (which is a very slow and old way), there is no longer way
to switch
between the tabViews tabless. No way to select the NSTabViewItem n.
2 using
the mouse or the keyboard.
Last, how to select on object up in the hierarchy? And how to
deselect an
object? My window is totally covered by objects, so any click on an
"empty
zone" results in a click on a e.g. TabView, a view or something else.
Sometimes I get lost in some level of the hierarchy and I am forced
to close
the window and start over again.
