Hi,
I would like to create a source view like Xcode 4's project navigator view. It will have "parent" views (e.g. the project) with a twist down triangle that, when clicked, will reveal the contents (e.g. files) in an animation that slides down. Many of these parent views can exist at the top level. When one is revealed, the ones below will slide down as well.
What is the best way to implement this? Is a table view with NSTableCellView's a reasonable approach? I'm wondering if that is the case since the items (when opened) will easily have differing heights depending on the number of children. Is an NSOutlineView more appropriate here (at least I get the sliding animation for free). One complication is that I'd like to be able to select the parent view in the same way that you can in Xcode (that brings up the project/targets inspector) to bring up a "summary" detail view.
I don't need a full implementation (not that I'd turn it away if one is available!), but a high-level view of the best approach to do this would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Demitri
