Hi Peter,Thanks for your reply. You are right. Since the WWDC Beta I haven't touched the unified checkbox because I thought that there is no difference because the design is always unified. I also didn't find something in the HIG about that. So when should we activate this checkbox? Is the difference just the 2px?

Thanks Stefan,From the screenshot, it looks to me like the test app is not using the unified title/toolbar metrics, but Mail is. Try checking the unified title/toolbar checkbox in IB.Your understanding of the NSToolbarItemGroup is correct. However, the view will not be automatically resized to fit the labels. For now, you will have to size the segments manually.-Peter On Apr 17, 2008, at 9:25 AM, Stefan Hafeneger wrote:Hi Peter,I uploaded two screenshots from Mail (in the background) and a demo app (in the foreground) designed just in Interface Builder.

Then I create a segmented control cell with 3 segments and set it to the view of NSToolbarItemGroup. Is this correct? Will the view then be automatically resized if the user enables or disables the labels?With best wishes, Stefan Am 16.04.2008 um 23:29 schrieb Peter Ammon:On Apr 16, 2008, at 1:27 PM, Stefan Hafeneger wrote:Hi,Has anyone tried to use the Capsule-Style Toolbar Controls in an app so that it looks and behaves like Mail or Preview? When I add them to my toolbar it looks like Mail. But if I compare them side by side the ones in Mail and Preview there is a 2 pixel difference of the baseline. And I think it looks better in Mail/ Preview. When I add a multi-segment control I only have one Label (not two or more). In Mail and Preview it looks like there are as many labels as segments. You can "fake" this by adding blanks. But there is one more point: In Mail and Preview the size of the control is adjusted (I think depending on the size of the label(s)). Well, in the nib files from Mail and Preview there are no toolbars, so Apple builds them via code. So the question is: If I code them as well, is it possible to do the same that Apple does in Mail and Preview via NSSegmentedCell or is this all done by hand?With best wishes, StefanHi Stefan,As of Leopard, this is all possible using standard AppKit controls, which Mail and Preview both use.Regarding the two pixel difference in the baseline, this may be because the segmented control is too short and so is clipped. Try using sizeToFit. You may also be referring to different window metrics; try giving the window a unified title/toolbar to see if that gives the appearance you expect. It shouldn't affect the appearance much, but it does subtly change the toolbar positioning. If these don't fix your issue, maybe you can provide a screenshot so I understand what you mean.To have multiple labels in a single toolbar item, make an NSToolbarItemGroup, and give it subitems. If you set a view (but not a label) on the Group, the labels of the subitems will be arranged under the view. If the view is a segmented control, the labels will be aligned with corresponding segments, assuming there's the same number of both. This is what Mail and Preview do.I hope that's clear, -Peter
