macOS Cocoa: What type of view ?

[MacDonaldsd]

How would you create a interface like mail ,iTunes where the main window is split in two and you can scale the two section,and indeed hide one section completely ?

Is that done with an instance of NSDrawer ?

It's a NSSplitView

Thanks I totally missed that.

As that was easily solved il hijack my thread and ask one more thing.

Is there any good tutorials or information on creating a toolbar at the top of an application ?

Look at NSToolbar.

Here's one.

Personally I created a class that creates the toolbars based on a nice simple little plist file (based on some Apple sample code).

I've heard talk that there is a drag&drop Interface Builder version in Leopard

From the ADC iTunes feed Interface Builder looks a lot better than it is now, so wouldn't supprise me.

Here's hoping

Right there is clearly more to it than that, I haven't created toolbars before and it looked simple enough however it seems it was deceptive . RobbieDuncan's link is far better.
