Hmm. The XS version is simpler. Not sure why there's some other stuff going on in there. > My implementation is simpler, using a couple of category methods on NSWindow > to patch in my view controllers. > However the tree implementation might be useful in future. It's useful when you have a deep hierarchy. For instance I have the window's top level VC, a subVC for each tab in the window, 6 subVCs of that, each of those may have several subVC and on and on. When different views are shown and hidden, the parent VC simply calls an addChild/removeChild and it's hooked up in the right spot. It's not significantly different, but it is convenient. gl, -- Seth Willits _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
