Re: How to Implement Film Rolls Functionality Like iPhoto

I did something similar using a custom view. It's not hard - just got 
to write some code.

As I draw each picture I save its rect in an array of rectangles. 
When the user clicks on my custom view, from mouseDown I invoke a 
method that I called getClickedPicture:(NSEvent)theEvent .  I then 
spin through the array of rects using NSPointInRect() to find which 
picture was selected.

As for the arrow heads that make it look like an outlineView - I use 
an NSButton and define a Title that starts with the rightArrowHead 
symbol plus an Alt.Title that starts with a downArrowHeadSymbol.
