I'm interested in implementing a status display in my toolbar, similar to the LCD-style ones seen in Xcode 4 and Instruments. The challenge seems to be how to make it a full-height item with no label. If I make my custom view taller, it just makes the whole toolbar taller. Setting the label to nil or @"" just leaves the label area blank.
I had read* that Xcode uses sneaky hacks for its status display, and I was resigned to having to reproduce that approach. Then I noticed the one in Instruments, which behaves like a normal toolbar item in many respects, including the Customize sheet. This leads me to suspect there's a relatively non-messy way to implement this. * <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6169255/is-it-possible-to-draw-in-the-label-area-of-nstoolbar> -- David Catmull uncom...@uncommonplace.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
