I am new to Cocoa so if this' been discussed or documented, some
URL's should be enough and welcome to get me going.
Here's the my problem:
I need to implement a GUI that I don't think (correct if I am wrong)
I can layout the whole thing ahead of time...
It's kind of like the XCode's Preferences dialog box. I will have
different categories for the user to choose from first. Then in each
categories, the user will see a different set of GUI.
I have been working through some Cocoa books but the examples I have
seen are mostly static GUI layout, linking controllers to controls,
etc. using IB.
Since I have quite of number of categories, I don't think I want to
layout everything in one nib window and write a lot of show and hide
calls depends on which category is chosen.
And I don't want to do a once size fit all approach. So, each pane
from each category will need to resize the window to make it looks best.
Is there a known or common design pattern for this type of GUI?
Happy Computing.
