[Newbie] TabView how to

[Wezzy]

Hi i'm writing a simple editor and i try to use NSTabView. The problem
is this : how can i programmaticaly open a new tab and insert a
NSTextView with scroll support ? When my user open a new file i'm able
to initialize a new tabItem with a NSTextView inside, but it hasn't
scroll bar :(

Please help me

An NSTextView doesn't have a scroll bar. An NSScrollView has a scroll
bar. If you want a scrollable text view, make an NSScrollView and put an
NSTextView inside it. m.

PS This has nothing to do with TabView.

You make an NSScrollView, you make an NSTextView, and then you call
setDocumentView. m.

Well i try something like this but it doesn't work!

NSScrollView *scroller;
NSTabViewItem * item;

scroller = [[NSScrollView alloc] init];
[scroller setDocumentView:[[NSTextView alloc] init]];

item = [[NSTabViewItem alloc] init];
[item setView:scroller];

[myTabView addTabViewItem:item];

Can you tell me where is my error ?

Thanks a lot for your time
Wezzy

That's not how you create an NSScrollView. Read the docs. Hint: an
NSScrollView is an NSView. m.

The docs that come with Cocoa are excellent (and getting better). m.

That's because an NSTextView is usually put inside an NSScrollView...
