Different Views in a NSBox

Question

In a view there is a NSBox. I have to create different controls (Labels, TextFields, PopupButtons, Radio Buttons) based on data, and I want to place these controls in that box.

Suppose the data is like:

label: Name //name field is editable
label: PopupButton
label: Radio Button

And i'm getting xpos=2 and ypos=1 in the response (which means if we consider a box as a table we have to place the control in 2nd row 1st column).

So my question is: while placing these views in the NSBox, how to adjust the constraints? And if we are editing any thing in the TextField how to adjust the remaining views?

If you need to create your layout constraints programmatically (sounds like you do) you should probably check out Apple's Auto Layout Guide and in particular

Creating Constraints Programmatically

There are some good WWDC videos covering auto layout as well that I'd highly recommend to get started on the topic (Auto Layout by Example in particular):
