nstoolbar

I'm struggling with Cocoa for 2 hours now without success. I want to add a custom view to the toolbar. So, I added a NSToolbar to the window (with IB), and added my view (which works perfectly). IB automatically created a NSToolbarItem. I followed the instructions from Apple here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Toolbars/Tasks/AddRemoveToolbarItems.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000755-BBCGJCDJ The problem is that I don't know what to do now, the view doesn't show although it's label is displayed in the window. Here's the code I use to draw (very simple, it's

I have a NSToolbarItem that uses a view similar to the Xcode status view. It currently has no label, but I can't figure out a way to draw into the area where the item label would normally be drawn. I would like the view to extend into that area just as the Xcode status view does. I know the very bottom portion of pixels of NSToolbar is out of bounds, but I have seen other applications draw into the label area. Any ideas? Edit: For clarification, this is the status view I'm referring to in Xcode: I want the bounds of my view to extend past the label area of the toolbar just as the view in Xcode

Finder and Notes have a peculiar behaviour that I am seeking to reproduce. The ‘flexible space’ in the NSToolbar seems to take the dimensions of the split view into account. For instance, the first group of buttons aligns on the left side with the right side of the sidebar. The second group of icons aligns with the right side of the first column. When I widen the sidebar, the toolbar items move along with it. Is it possible to reproduce this? Solution With the solution provided by @KenThomases, I have implemented this as follows: final class MainWindowController: NSWindowController { override

I need to remove some items from right-click context menu, but the toolbar does not contain a public API to access 'toolbarView'. Is it possible to customize the menu without using private API? You can access and modify a toolbar contextual menu when the toolbar is created, i.e. in -[awakeFromNib] : - (NSMenu *)toolbarMenuInWindow:(NSWindow *)window { NSView *contentView = window.contentView; NSView *toolbarView = contentView.superview.subviews.lastObject; NSMenu *toolbarMenu = toolbarView.menu; return toolbarMenu; } Now you can directly edit menu items and hide or disable them. 来源： https:/

I want to highlight the selected NSToolbarItem like e.g. in Adium (see screenshot). highlight http://a2.s3.p.quickshareit.com/files/screenshot_b28b67ba9411513d6.png Is there an easy way? If not, tell me the difficult one. =) To expand upon Chuck's answer, you simply need to make your controller the delegate of your NSToolBar and implement the toolbarSelectableItemIdentifiers: delegate method in it. For example, the following implementation will let you retain the selection highlight on every toolbar item except for the one labeled "Inspect": - (NSArray *)toolbarSelectableItemIdentifiers:

I've been trying to build on a Cocoa app that uses Swift and Storyboard in Xcode 6, but how can I use NSToolbar there? In Xcode 5 and xib, you can add NSToolbar from within Object Library to any .xib files and then click on the added toolbar to expand it and drag and drop a connection from any items there to a AppDelegate.h file. In this way you can create a IBAction or IBOutlet connection. I confirmed that this can also be done if you use Swift and non-storyboard in Xcode 6. However, it looks like this is not the case in Xcode 6 and Storyboard environment. I first created a project that uses
