I've been struggling to create an app that looks vaguely like Mail...
I don't know what to call it, and that's probably why I'm finding it
hard to search for.
I want an NSTableView on the left, with the light blue effect, some
buttons below, a single pixel NSSplitView splitter, and then another
view on the right with the selected data in.
I've searched the archives, because I'm sure it's been covered
before, but I can't think what words would have been used.
My app is now a mess, the hierarchy goes a little like:
NSSplitView [
SplitPane1 [
NSTableView,
DSBottomView(Custom View for the buttons at the bottom of the left
hand pane)
]
SplitPane2 [
NSBox [
NSTextField etc etc etc
]
]
]
The main problem I'm struggling with is that it's REALLY awkward
trying to manipulate subviews in Interface Builder. Say I need to
move the NSTableView around because it's overlapping...
I try to click it, this doesn't work because I select the SplitPane,
I double click and I get the column!
I've got a single pixel splitter easily enough by subclassing
NSSplitView, but it seems there's a 1 or 2 pixel gap between the end
of the left pane, and the splitter.
All in all, a real headache. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. I hope my tabbing is preserved, or this is going to look a right
mess.
