Hey everyone,
I've got an interesting problem that I thought I could find the answer
to, but have come up short so far.
I'm building a master-detail interface, similar to Mail.app. I'm
struggling with the detail view (displaying the currently selected
item). In Mail, there are areas for the From:, Subject:, To:, etc,
with a rich-text area underneath. This is what I'd like to recreate.
I have it *kind of* working, but not how I'd like.
I have some rich text of arbitrary length that I want to display along
with the item's metadata (similar to Mail's From and Subject fields).
However, I want all of these to be part of the same NSScrollView, so
that when I scroll, both the metadata fields and the rich text content
move.
The problem I'm facing is that in order to display the RTF data
properly, I need an NSTextView, but NSTextView has its own enclosing
scroll view that's conflicting with my overall scrollview. In
addition, I need to be able to dynamically resize the overall clipped
view so that the scrollbars change appropriately.
I might be able to use the WebView object to fake it, but that seems
like a less-elegant solution. However, if it's the only one, I
suppose I could go with that and then just use CSS to style everything.
So, in a nutshell, how can I recreate the detail view as found in
Mail.app?
Thanks,
Dave DeLong
