NSTabViewController represents an abstract target for providing content switching

NSTabViewController is a container view controller class introduced in MacOS 10.10.

It provides:

  • Lazy loading of non-visible view controllers
  • Easy design time construction with Storyboarding
  • A target for bindings
  • Easy/abstract hookup for displaying large content switches
  • A way of providing standard tab-style UI with external controls

tabViewItems and selectedTabViewItemIndex are KVC/KVO compliant. This allows one to bind an NSSegmentedControl (or other bindable objects) directly to them.
