In re-designng my app to incorporate bindings I've been looking at other apps for ideas.
Address Book as a quite surprising number of elegant GUI ideas that I can use in my app.


In particular the use of an NSBrowser with two columns the first of which is used for Groups.
clearly this must be modelled somewhere and I do have a few ideas for doing it myself.
But since there have been so many good suggestions from this list I thought I'd ask for comments.


So what do you think is the most elegant and efficient way to implement Groups a la Address Book?
(Including the Drag & Drop from the second column)
Address Book actually uses two table views in a split view to do the magic.
The drag and drop from a table View is easy (since it does it already)
Thank you for this confirmation.
I actualy looked inside the various .nibs and discovered the use of NSSplitView.


I had not known about this class and now in reviewing the AB GUI (and the Finder for that matter) things become much clearer.
AB has many many very elegantly thought out UI designs.


Thanks again....

Peter
