Hi, all,

I would like to make a header view that looks like an NSTableHeaderView (i.e., with the gradient of such a table header view) for an NSTextView and possibly an NSCollectionView. This view would label the view in question, but also would look like a part of it by virtue of being "attached." This appears to be nonstandard, of course, but I feel that it would be useful -- and it's not a gadget of some sort that has any user interactivity, so I don't feel that it would be that confusing.

Additionally, Xcode has this interesting interface element in several places. First, it is visible in the script NSTextView in the project build phase for scripts -- check out the "General" tab. Also, it makes use of this in the Xcode documentation viewer, for the arrow buttons. Finally, it does this in the source-code viewer.

What is this element? It appears to be a table header view, to all appearances, but I can't figure out how to duplicate it without drawing an NSTableHeaderView in the background -- and that seems like a hackish kludge.

I *feel* that this should be easy, but have not yet found a good solution to it. I could certainly file an enhancement request, but if there's a good way to do it -- or a good reason not to do it -- and even if it doesn't look *identical* to a table header view, I'll take that into account, too.

Cheers,
        Andrew
