Hi all,

Maybe this has been answered before, if so I am sorry to pollute. I've googled the archives, looked through CocoaDev, went through the documentation, and was not able to figure this out. Also I must say that I am a complete beginner in Cocoa. I just finished Aaron Hillegass's book "Cocoa programming for Mac OSX", and am trying to tackle more complex issues to improve my skills.

What I want: a listout of items, each of which presents info and a number of controls. Typical example: Safari's downloads window.

I figured out (more or less) how to use NSCollectionView to accomplish this. The problem is the annoying animation (and I read somewhere it can't be turned off), which also occasionally introduces bad rendering. So I am trying to figure out an alternative way, that was used prior to 10.5.

NSTableView does not seem to be of much help. It accepts an NSCell as means of rendering, but if I understand it correctly, an NSCell can't contain subviews nor subcells, and is therefore of little use.

Any pointers to documentation on how to deal with this would be very appreciated. Perhaps I am simply using the wrong terms to search.

Thanks in advance,
F
