Personally, I love writing dynamic code. Anything I want to have
dynamic sized content on, I set the view to be fixed to the left and
right sides of the parent view. Then I call -sizeToFit, get the size,
and relayout the rest of the controls based on the new size (while
making sure there is enough space between the controls to match the
HIG. i usually have to do this twice since the first time only gets
the correct positions, the second time places it all in the correct
place.
basically, I set up all the relative positions in the nib, then I
resize the window as needed to fit the actual content I am showing. I
modeled it off the finder get info window.

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?
