Re: Tabbed views in applications

[Ivan Vučica]

This example might be helpful:
  http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/tests/examples/trunk/gui/Old/nstabview.m

It's not a tutorial as such, but it could help in further exploration.

An NSTabView is a subclass of NSView. It contains NSTabViewItem instances. 
These instances describe individual NSViews that you can select using tab view 
buttons.

As for how to structure the app -- if you want to do a tabbed FTP client or 
Terminal or such a type of apps, you may want to design a controller class 
(TerminalSessionController), a view class (TerminalSessionView) and assign a 
controller instance to each individual NSView. Then, separately keep the 
NSArray of controllers. While each controller does keep track of its view (and 
probably vice versa), views are primarily kept inside the view hierarchy. That 
means, each view is kept in its NSTabViewItem instance, which is then kept in 
its NSTabView instance.

You'll especially be interested in -addTab: method in the linked example.
