Maybe I 'm getting all this wrong, but from everything I read on this thread, apparently the OP wants to do something simple and is trying to do more work than necessary:

"Now what I want to do is show/hide view1/view2 depending on which
button you click. What I'm confused about is achieving "tab" like
behavior, without using a tab view."

So Aaron,

why don't you just go in IB, create a window, place your toolbar/ buttons and layout both views directly on your window, add outlets to them + actions to the buttons in your app controler, and then just hide/show the correspondding views in the action code? It doesn't really answer your original question, but maybe solves what you declared you want to do.

(something along these lines...)

@interface  // ...
{
        IBOutlet NSView * _view1;
        IBOutlet NSView * _view2;
}
- (IBAction)switchToView1;
- (IBAction)switchToView2;
@end

// ...

- (IBAction)switchToView1
{
        [  _view2 setHidden:YES ];
        [  _view1 setHidden:NO ];
        // ...
}

- (IBAction)switchToView2
{
        [  _view1 setHidden:YES ];
        [  _view2 setHidden:NO ];
        // ...
}
