fs28 An NSBox object is a simple NSView that can do two things: It can draw a border around itself and it can title itself. You can use an NSBox to group, visually, some number of other NSViews. These other NSViews are added to the NSBox through the typical subview-adding methods, such as b addSubview:b0 and b replaceSubview:with:b0 .
fs16
fs28 An NSBox contains a i content areai0 , a rectangle set within the NSBox'27s frame in which the NSBox'27s subviews are displayed. The size and location of the content area depends on the NSBox'27s border type, title location, the size of the font used to draw the title, and an additional measure that you can set through the b setContentViewMargins:b0 method. When you create an NSBox, an instance of NSView is created and added (as a subview of the NSBox object) to fill the NSBox'27s content area. If you replace this i content view i0 with an NSView of your own, your NSView will be resized to fit the content area. Similarly, as you resize an NSBox its content view is automatically resized to fill the content area.
fs16
fs28 The NSViews that you add as subviews to an NSBox are actually added to the NSBox'27s content view'd0NSView'27s subview-adding methods are redefined by NSBox to ensure that a subview is correctly placed in the view hierarchy. However, you should note that the b subviewsb0 method i isn'27ti0 redefined: It returns an NSArray containing a single object, the NSBox'27s content view.
