Brad:
My app, SousChef, does this. The way adress book and SousChef do it
is to use a customized textview. You add custom attributes to mark
the different fields (textview's NSTextStorage is a subclass of
NSAttributedString). Then you control selection based on these
attributes when in edit mode. When a field is selected, you just draw
a editing box + drop shadow around the full range of the field. To
get the plus/minus buttons (which I'm actually kind of thinking about
removing from SousChef), you can stick them in a customized rulerview
as markers and show/hide the ruler based on editing mode.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I'm trying to re-create Address Book's editing style - if a user
pushes a button labeled Edit, subsequent clicks on a label bring up
what looks like a separate view for the new information. Clicking
return after editing commits the edit and moves on to the next field.
I'd also like to be able to have the plus and minus signs next to
phone numbers, email fields, etc.
I don't see a stock Cocoa / AppKit way to do this. Does anyone know
of a public framework that mimics this behavior? Short of that, any
ideas on how to re-create the editing field that pops up?
Thanks.
Brad
