I increasingly believe you're using the wrong UI for the need you describe.

It seems it will be troublesome for both the coder and the user. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
