Kinda generic question, is it not? Have you read NSView.html?
Well anything visible is a view: button, text field, text editor,
icon...
Oh, I meant if you could point out some tutorial... I'm right now
writing an app that requires me to dynamically create tabs (thats not
hard) and put into them a view (either a text view, an image view or a
?sound view? -- that is, a sound clip just like quicktime preview in
finder). Is there any reference (besides the not-very-helpful apple
documentation: it's quite good if you know how something works and want
details, but not good for starting from scratch).
It's not designed for someone starting from scratch, as if it were it
wouldn't be very useful once you have your head around some of the
fundamental concepts. A newcomer to Cocoa really needs to take a good
deal of time and invest some effort in coming up to speed on the
fundamental concepts. The best way to do that is to grab one of the
several Cocoa books available and work through it -- all the way through
it -- reading up on interesting bits of documentation as you go.
Cocoa is an easy system to use once you're in to it, but it absolutely
has a substantial learning curve. The Cocoa programming books are
designed to flatten out the learning curve a bit and help you up it. The
reference documentation is not going to be able to do that for you.
Good luck!
