I'm responding to a user's quite-right expectation that when he selects "Check Spelling as You Type" once in my application, that setting should persist across...
... I guess it somewhat depends on your application, but assuming that you have some classification of the various places where you edit text (like e.g....
Yeah - I agree. I'm leaning towards some kind of custom First Responder method that is only implement in my app delegate. It could then synthesize the ordinary...
This list hasn't been very active but I thought I'd give it a whirl. I'm trying to come up with some conceptual ways to improve and simplify the entering of...
In the interests of brainstorming I would suggest: 1) Separate the request for ftp information from website information. Maybe using separate pane, panel or...
... It looks like you have a database of ISP settings (for maximum ease of use), and a fallback to an advanced "enter all parameters" form. It would also seem...
... I would go further and say that if you're already in a Assistant/Wizard style setup process then you should opt for more panels with fewer fields. When...
... Don't overdo it, though. If a user got a list of server info from the hoster, he'd probably prefer to just type all that stuff out instead of clicking...
... Yeah, I want to have a single form to fill out the data, at least in a simple "properties" mode. The multiple steps would help abstract it a bit, though...
... You may also consider using an NSTokenField if you want to keep functionality like this. Adobe has started doing this with some of their applications to...
Hi All, In my software (PDFClerk) the main window has an NSTableView subclass listing the pages in the document. There is a button in an inspector panel called...
I use shift with arrow keys a lot to modify selections in tables as well as text editors, and always found it quite annoying when the "anchor" location was...
In most (all?) implementations of a List Browser, if the user selects an item and then proceeds to sort a column, the List Browser scrolls to keep the selected...
... Agreed. This is the same app that uses a custom scroll bar control, so, personally, I wouldn't look to it for too much guidance. :) ... I think so. -- ...

I'd like to get opinions here on how best to design the UI for adding a new record in an application. I searched through the HIG because I'd prefer to follow...
... I don't think there's a generic answer to your question. It depends on some requirements inside your application, e.g. (1) can you add records without...

Hi Jens and Uli, Thanks for your responses. When considering a single or multiple document interface, I think it would be difficult to find an application that...
