- Just thinking a bit.
-
- IB has great facilities for extension (palettes, etc.). It also has
- OK facilities for managing view hierarchies. (grop, group in scrollview).
-
- One thing that I think would be REALLY useful would be a "Group in
- arbitrary view" function which would encapsuluate both of the above, plus
- be more extensible.
-
- So for example you could group in scrollview, group in NXSplitView, group
- in box, group in "MyHackedView", etc. I'm not too into building up
- complex view hierarchies by hand when there's a perfectly reasonable
- facility to design them.
-
- Comments? IS NeXT listening?
