You should be able to accomplish that with an NSOutlineView. If
you're worried because of the "many lines long" part, check out the
outlineView: heightOfRowByItem: delegate method. You may need to do
some twiddling or maybe write a subclass of NSCell, but I bet you'd
be able to just drop it in and watch it work, unless I misunderstand
what you're doing.

Hi,
My program needs to display a cross between a bullet list of
text, and an outline view, in that each bullet in the list should
be a disclosure triangle, that can be closed or opened. Bullets
should be draggable and rearangable, but in the mean time the text
in each section should be many lines long.
I've been thinking about using an NSLayoutManager for this, but it
doesn't seem quite appropriate for the task, in that it requires
all the text to be enclosed within a single NSTextStorage object,
while I need to maintain an explicit tree structure (and several
seperate NSTextStroage objects for each node in the tree).
Can anyone think of an appropriate way of doing this?
Help much appreciated.
Thanks
Tom Davie
