First I should say I searched my mailbox which has about 1700 cocoa
list messages in it, and did not find this topic.. that said I'll
take you word for it that the topic has come up before.
The argument that we should not be able hide controls show a distinct
lack of imagination. In my case I generate UI based on some settings
such as if there is sound. If not then I hide things like a mute
button. Disabling it only confuses users. The argument that we should
not be able to hide controls because it always bad is specious to say
the least...
The other argument that it is very sophisticated and object oriented
also seems pretty bizarre to me "the you're not sophisticated enough"
argument is pretty amusing.. How about I pass my control object a
message to hide itself.. how object oriented would that be??? I think
there may be a tad of Cocoa defence going on here..
I'm enjoying Cocoa and perhaps the fact that it simplifies so many
things makes all the more surprising when seemingly simple
functionality is not available...
