Matteo:
Your question's been answered by a few people already, so I won't
repeat it here.
If you don't mind a little friendly advice, I think its time for
you to set aside an hour or two each night for the next week or so to
peruse the API documentation and see what all "ready-made objects"
Cocoa has to offer you. The "Class Description" section of each
object's documentation explains quite well what most objects do.
This practice, you'll find, is vital for learning any new API.
Remember, the *language* you're using is Objective-C, but using
things like NSSplitView, NSButton, NSWindow, etc.... this is all part
of Cocoa. If you don't familiarize yourself with Cocoa you're going
to accomplish very little without relying heavily on others. You'll
find your development skills will increase dramatically if you know
exactly what objects to weave together (as opposed to cooking up your
own home-made solution for a problem that didn't really exist to
begin with). You *MUST* learn to research, that's one of the most
important tools in a developer's arsenal.
An excellent way of navigating / exploring / researching the API
is a tool called AppKiDo (by Andy Lee, who frequents this list).
Google it. Download it. Use it. :-)
Good luck!

Hi everyone, I was looking for a way to put a draggable resizer
between views. I'm talking about that little vertical "gap" that
you can find in almost every program, with a dot in the middle,
that permits to resize views inside windows.
You can find one in Finder's windows, the one between the left
sidebar and the part with the files.
I have downloaded a open source program that has that thing to try
to understand what it is. I opened the MainMenu.nib file and the
thing is there, in the window, but I can't figure out what it is
exactly. If I click on it the inspector does not respond, but it's
fully functional even without "Test Interface".
Thank you a lot for your help, I hope I have been clear.
Bye.
