Uli - To enable/disable the toolbar items, Cocoa uses the NSUserInterfaceValidation protocol, and asks each responder in the responder chain, beginning at the first responder. Have you inserted your toolbar controller in the responder chain so it actually gets asked whether these methods should be enabled?
Initially, my ToolbarController was sub to NSObject as was the case for Apple's SimpleToolbar, so I changed the super class of my ToolbarController to NSControl. Since NSControl is a NSView, shouldn't the toolbar automatically be in the Responder chain, just as any NSView in the window? I read somewhere that NSView calls [self setRefusesFirstResponder:FALSE] ?
