Adding a Table View

Open MainWindowController.xib. As shown in Figure 7.1, the table view will sit to the right of the text field and be roughly half its size.

In the canvas, select the window and drag its right edge to make it wide enough to allow for the table view. Then, in the object library, find Table View and drag one onto the window next to the text field (Figure 7.4).

(A yellow Auto Layout warning may appear to the right of the window in the document outline. Do not worry about this warning. It will not cause any problems, and you will learn about Auto Layout in Chapter 25.)
