How to design a utilities panel as seen in XCode4?

Hi,

In the application I'm building, I'm using some kind of "inspector" panel that will display and allow the editing of various attributes of some selected object. We're talking about a significant number of attributes, so I would like to arrange them into logical groups to present them to the user. I could use a tabbed view with a seperate tab for each of the groups, but I also like the way XCode 4 lays out its utilities panel, with various subpanels that can be displayed or hidden using a disclosure triangle. I don't know what kind of objects that could be used to implement such a configuration, nor do I understand how the various subviews should by organized, so that hiding one view moves the  remaining views into place. Could anyone provide or share some tips please?

Thank you,
