But it's all implemented with the same nib. I am implementing a
window that can display a message, an arbitrary number of checkboxes
(up to a hard limit, in my case 4), and two buttons. How many
checkboxes we actually need depends on the situation--it depends on
stuff I'm reading from a data file. It won't be confusing at all.
I did something like this in HenWen (see my Web page) by using an
NSArray data source with NSDictionary objects in the NSArray, and set
up an NSTableView data source that used this array. The list of check
boxes is completely dynamic, and is in fact based on information read
in from a data file.
So using NSTableView is probably the best way of doing what you want
to do...
I checked out this app. The NSTableView of checkboxes was the huge
scrolly list under one of the tabs, right? That was cool, but I don't
think it's appropriate for my app. The "common case" for my app is
going to be between zero and two checkboxes. Having a scrolly list-box
with two (or zero) items in it looks a bit silly.
I might check out the NSMatrix when I get more free time, though.
