My new Mac OS X Search Field seems to be working wonderfully. The
next release will likely be the final, and includes better error
handling.
This is all the good news I have.
The bad news is that I seem to be incapable of creating a version
that can be embedded within my HIToolbar class, despite using Charles
Yeomans' version as a guide. I can make it appear and work just fine
in the configure sheet, but cannot be added to the toolbar without a
crash. This has to do with the HIObject subclass model and events,
when REALbasic doesn't handle particularly gracefully.
Which brings me to my next point. I have a new version of HIToolbar
with incredible usability improvements and new features nearly ready
for release. But once I exported the code, and began building the
example project, I'm getting crashes. Crashes which cannot be
explained. The exact code works in one project, but not the other.
Console has been of no help, as it's reporting a crash at a specific
line of code, regardless of whether or not I remove the code
completely. So I've hit a wall, spent all day on this and
implementing Custom View Toolbar Item support, with no progress.
Currently, I'm tempted to give up on the new toolbar and wait for the
Cocoa support, as I'll have to do this all over again in the future
anyway.
