Are you trying to use NSTextFields or NSTextViews? Either way, you will probably want to enable them to scroll as vertical height on a screen is limited. At some point you will probably need to scroll vertically in the RTF document, unless you have some limit on the actual amount of text and you know the screen size of all users in advance. You don’t want a window that exceeds the vertical height of a screen and you have no way to know what size screen might be used in advance. NSStackView in a scroll view should be easier in some ways than NSTableView (if you want vertical resizing easily) You could also do a NSSplitView with custom splitters. However, it really sounds like you should consider a master-detail design if possible. With say a table view to the left that is for selecting a section to work on, then the section displayed to the right. You could also do a master-detail design with NSTabView. (even tabless, using a custom tab selector of some sort) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
