What you are looking for is an "editor"; look at IBEditors.h for
methods that your editor should implement and in IBObjectProtocol.h for
this method:

- (NSString *)editorClassName;

Which can be put into a protocol on your object (or wherever you put
-inspectorClassName).

I don't think you'll find much documentation on getting an editor to
work, and its been a long time since I wrote NSTabView's editor, but
you can probably get something working. Start by getting your editor to
init and see what happens. If you want to open sub editors, also look
at IBDocument.h.

Good luck,
