Re: Window title bar accessory view
Hi Andrew, No I am not talking about the toolbar. I am referring to the lock icon and the new green certificate information text displayed by Safari in the window's title bar. iCal displays a pop-up menu where one can pick the time zone.

Pierre Greetings, Pierre, I think that what you're referring to is the toolbar (class NSToolbar), as I don't see anything besides that at the top of my iCal or Safari windows. (On Leopard, the Unified Title/Toolbar setting in Interface Builder, or through code, makes the title bar, which is actually separate, look connected to the toolbar.) If you can afford to target Leopard-only and are willing to put up with a slightly buggy interface, you can use Interface Builder to set up the toolbar in the window itself and store it in the nib or xib that way.

The docs have much more info, as well as dos and dont's of toolbars (for instance: anything in a toolbar, last I checked, should have a menu item equivalent; thus if you have a Reset button or a Send button or whatnot in your toolbar, there should be a Reset or Send menu item, accessible from the menu bar). Hope this helps! * Selectable toolbar items are one example of why the Interface Builder approach may no work for you -- such items are not currently configurable in IB. (They're the sort of item used in the iTunes preferences window, where they act like push-buttons of which only one can be selected at a time.)

Re: Window title bar accessory view
Hi Kyle! Thanks a lot. This sounds like a great idea. I will give it a try ASAP.

Window title bar accessory view
Hi! I would like to replicate the accessory views found in the top right of window title bars. Examples include Coda, iCal, Safari,... How can I add subviews to the window's title bar?
