Overview

CNGridView is a (wanna be) replacement for NSCollectionView. It has full delegate and dataSource support with method calls just like known from NSTableView and UITableView.

The main inspiration to develop this control came fom @JustSid who wrote the JUCollectionView. But CNGridView was written from ground up, it uses ARC and has a bunch of properties to customize its layout and behavior. CNGridView was only testet on 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Here is a shot of the included example application:

Usage

To use CNGridView the easy work is done in a few steps:

• open InterfaceBuilder and select your NIB file that should contain the grid view
• drag a NSScrollView to your target view, and set the class of NSScrollView's content view to CNGridView
• connect the delegate & dataSource
• implement all required delegate/dataSource methods and fill it with appropriate content.

Now you have a fully functionable grid view. Please take a look at the example.
