Finder like search query UI elements

Hi,
I develop an application that needs to add UI elements like buttons and text fields dynamically at runtime.
Basically it should work and look exactly like the search refinement UI elements in the Finder search or Smart Folder creation
(e.g. where you can specify the "Kind" or the "Last Opened" attributes of the files you search for).


I have two questions:

1) Has anybody done this before (i.e. is there a library/code example I can use)?
2) My first idea was to use a NSTableView as basis for adding and removing rows with UI elements.
Can you customize a NSTableView in such a way that it would resemble the look of the Finder search fields?
For example: All other window elements should move "down" when new rows are added (like in the Finder). Thus I cannot use a NSScrollview but have to resize the NSTableView and the rest of the window myself somehow.


Thanks,
Christian
