Dynamically loading part of a window in Cocoa

Question

I have a window area (in my MainMenu.xib) that I would like to dynamically populate with unrelated “views” such as NSTable, IKImageBrowserView, etc. at different points in time, depending on some criteria selected by the user.

• How to define this area of ​​the window so that it can be "replaced" with different views?
• How to attach a table or other view to this area of ​​the window?

(is it enough to post a generic NSView there and add a subview every time? I'm new to Cocoa, so any pointers are welcome)

Cocoa . (1, 2, 3) , NSViewController.

Answer 2

. " nsview" windowDidLoad. :

@interface MyController : NSWindowController
{
    IBOutlet NSView* dummyView;
}
@end

@implementation MyController
-(void)windowDidLoad{
    NSView* actualView = ...; //create the real view here
    [actualView setFrame:[dummyView frame]];
    [actualView setAutoresizingMask:[dummyView autoresizingMask]];

    NSView* superview = [dummyView superview];
    [dummyView removeFromSuperview];
    [superview addSubview:actualView];

    dummyView = actualView; //just incase dummyView is ever used again
}
@end
