Hello again Alexander!
I remember we talked about similar things almost exactly one year
ago. :)
Since I'm responsible for the subview-tableview-thingie, I feel I
should make some comment in this thread. I'm not sure if my solution
presented in that article will match your requirements. It works
fairly well for "rule editors", as the examples in the article shows.
But it might feel a bit restrictive if you're trying to replicate the
UI of the AB.
Personally I'm not much of a fan of the AB UI, I think it has
usability problems, primarily because it doesn't look or work like
anything else on Mac OS X. I think it's based on a NSTextView (there
might be something on that in the list archives), but I'm not sure
that it's a good idea for you to try do the same thing - the
implementation in the AB still have bugs after all these years...
Finally - about layout managers - I'm not quite sure what you're
referring to / looking for. Last year you referred to a "FlowLayout"
from Java. In return, I talked a bit about the "autoresize"
functionality of NSView, using "springs" and "struts". Perhaps you
can elaborate a bit on what your requirements are, in order for us to
be able to provide you with better answers.

rate the link below will give you a good idea of the concept you're
dealing with as one possible approach. The same concept applies no
matter the approach, but this should get you going in the right
direction.

I don't want to start a flame war as this seems to be a hard topic
to touch on. I am looking for a nice tutorial or other information
on creating dynamic user interfaces in Cocoa. I want to put
together a custom control like the one used in the Addressbook to
show and hide additional address's.
Also any information on layout managers, if there is such a thing
in Cocoa would also be great.
