Hello,
how would you implement a chat-style view like the one in iChat?
I'd go with:
(2) with an NSView and custom NSCells that draw the "chat bubbles"?
Simply because it's more reusable, and saves you some hassle when
you want to change the shape of the bubbles (like iChat lets you
switch into a "list view"). Just replace the prototype cell.
(I am not really implementing a chat application, but this seems to
be a good and simple example. The important thing is that there can
be lots of these chat bubbles, so it would have to be fast.)
Well, if you told us what you are *really* implementing, we might
have some better suggestions :-)
