This isn't an answer but, if you didn't find it, the Table View
Programming Guide has been quite useful for me:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Tab

You can find it with the following link, then filtering the results by
unchecking the boxes on the left that don't apply to your situation.
