1. Let say you have a list of keywords (say two separate arrays) and you want to be able to filter a table/calendar view/etc. by a combination of a choice from each of the arrays. How would you go about creating something like that in interface builder? A screenshot of an example I encountered in an application is located here: softworksfiles.com/filtering.png
There is no built-in control that does that, but there is a third- party control that does what you want to do, called "AMButtonBar". You can find it at <http://www.harmless.de/cocoa.php>.
2. Secondly, let's say I want to be able to select day(s) of the week. I saw an example like this softworksfiles.com/weekday.png in an application, but am not sure how to replicate it. I opened the nib file for that window from the package's resources directory, and when I clicked on it, a little circle popped up underneath it like one you would see for a NSFormatter, and when I clicked on it, it said prototype. Obviously, since it's a compiled application that's not mine, I can't see more than that.
Others have already answered your question, but I'd just like to add that if you create your own day of the week selector matrix, make sure you localize it. In all of the Americas and a few places in Europe, the first day of the week is Sunday, but in most of the rest of the world, the first day of the week is either Monday or (I think) Friday. You can find this out for yourself by calling [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] firstWeekday].
