Bob:

  Your problem appears to be that you seem to stop just short of 
further searching each time. It's taking you longer to post replies 
to this thread than it would to actually find things if you'd just 
spend a bit more time with google. For example:

  You got me there - the *first few results* for that particular 
string didn't appear to be fruitful, so I changed the search to 
"cocoa source list itunes" and it produced this result:

http://mattgemmell.com/source/  (search the page for iTableView ... 
can't miss it)

  I'm sure, however, that if I'd looked further down the result 
list, I'd have found this site, since "iTableView" is definitely 
there by that exact name.

  Since you haven't specified exactly what behavior of the split 
view in iTunes you're after, I have no idea what you're looking for, 
so I can't look for it for you. Do you want the single-pixel divider 
split view or the pretty Mail 2.0-like gradient divider? Try 
searching those terms. You'll find either one relatively quickly 
(almost as quick as someone else doing it for you). I happen to know 
that www.cocoadev.com has a page specifically about this very topic.

  As I stated previously, some are only suggestions on how to 
approach problems. Your original post was along the lines of "has 
anyone done this for me" ... the answer to this one sure seems to be 
"no". Although I haven't spent more than a few seconds searching for 
the answer to your question myself (because there's no reason you 
can't do it yourself) -- your mileage may vary.

  Again, *spend more time with Google*. If you don't take the time 
to properly research things, you'll never get anywhere with software 
development.
