I followed the steps described here to set up a toolbar item with a custom view in Interface Builder: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Toolbars/Articles/ToolbarInIB.html
Unfortunately my custom view's drawRect is never called. I verified that it does get initialized. The toolbar item's min and max size are set up properly. Just to be safe I had my view conform to NSCoding but initWithCoder and ecodeWithCoder aren't called. I tried various springs and struts settings with no results. Digging deeper, I subclassed NSToolbarItem and overrode setView and setMinSize so I could break on them. setMinSize is getting called with the correct values. Interestingly, setView gets called before my custom view is initialized. I assume this is the proxy NSView object. Then my custom view is initialized (initWithFrame) but the NSToolbarItem's setView isn't called again with the new view instance. I don't know if this is a bug -- maybe Cocoa does some voodoo in the swapping from the proxy NSView object to the custom view. Standard views work fine: eg. NSButton and NSBox. Has anyone successfully used IB to create toolbar items with custom views?
