Re: Interface Builder (almost) supports NSToolbar
If you're creating a toolbar for which all items should be selectable,
instead of binding each of the toolbar's items separately or iterating
over them all and building an array, you can just use KVC to get an
array of all items' identifiers.
// NSToolbar delegate method
- (NSArray *) toolbarSelectableItemIdentifiers:(NSToolbar*) toolbar {
return [[myToolbar items] valueForKey:@itemIdentifier];
}
(For my prefs window toolbar, this is the only delegate method I've
implemented.)

Re: Interface Builder (almost) supports NSToolbar
I am not sure I fully understand your solution. I can bind all my IB created NSToolbarItems, however there is no way to change the identifier on already created items from within the awakeFromNIB, or from init. If I add the item using the delegate, I just get a duplicate item in the toolbar. Am I missing something?

It feels a little hokey using outlets for this, but it works fine. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Interface Builder (almost) supports NSToolbar
Hey Brian - Until IB allows you to set the identifier, I would do this instead: Add an outlet to your controller, something like IBOutlet NSToolbarItem *myItem. Connect that to the item who's identifier you are interested in IB. Now, every place were you wanted to use a custom identifier for 'myItem' use [myItem identifier] instead.
