Re: Nested Components vs Custom View

I think what you actually want is a custom cell, if I understand your
needs correctly.  This should be a relatively simple thing to do, I
recommend looking at:

file://Developer/Examples/AppKit/DragNDropOutlineView/ImageAndTextCell.m

This custom cell is composed of an image cell and a text cell; you can
make them whatever size you want, and can orient them however you want.
  You could have it made up of 20 text cells, if you want.  This is the
basic implementation used in Finder.app for files with icons.
