What's the recommened way to build an inspector that displays a different
list of subviews for differnet types of inspectee?

What I decided to do is this:  I made the inspecting window large, used IB
to build three different "looks" for the inspector, connected outlets,
buttons, and so on.  I made sure that the three views were the same size.

Then I grouped each look into a box for ease of handling.

Now, when my inspector gets and inspect:aThing message, it sends the current
box a moveTo:400:400 message and the needed box a moveTo:5:5 message.  This
shifts the unneeded box out of the window, and brings the new one in.

This seems to work OK.  But I'd like to know, how was I "supposed" to
do this?
