there a different roots to success....

Thanks for the input.

a) roll your own Tabs instead of Segmented cell in combination with a tabless NSTabView

Do you mean use a segmented control with a tabless NSTabView, where each segmented cell is linked to a tab view?

I have set that up, but can't see a way to hide a segmented cell. I can turn off the "enabled" flag (in Interface Builder of via the accessor method), but there doesn't appear to be a "hidden" flag. I thought I might be able to set the width to zero, but the documentation says:

setWidth:forSegment:

The width of the segment, measured in points. Specify the value 0 if you want the segment to be sized to fit the available space automatically.

So I guess I'll have to build the segmented control dynamically from scratch each time I want to hide a segmented cell, just leaving out that cell in the rebuild.

b) Add/remove tab items on demand

That sounds similar to above. However, I feel more comfortable rebuilding just a segmented cell than trying to delete and rebuild a whole view.

Seems messy either way though.

Thanks,
Tom
