Note that I’m speculating. I vaguely recall that there was something very horrible about mixing IB and non-IB items, and this may or may not be it. Yes, horrible comes to mind. I ended up duplicating the entire toolbar so it's constructed at runtime - with embedded segmented controls that's a lot of fun. That was only way to make it work. Unfortunately I can't even use the same toolbar identifier (for auto-configuration saving purposes), because even though -toolbarAllowedItemIdentifiers: returns a reduced set, NSToolbar will reconstruct items with identifiers not currently allowed when restoring a toolbar configuration that was stored when all items were allowed.

Re: NSToolbar delegate -toolbarAllowedItemIdentifiers not getting called, other delegate methods are
On 2/7/14 10:31 PM, Markus Spoettl wrote: Hi, I have a strange problem with a toolbar that is configured in IB which I need to adjust programmatically. It has a delegate set (to the window controller) but for some reason - (NSArray *)toolbarAllowedItemIdentifiers:(NSToolbar*)toolbar is never getting called. Other delegate methods such as - (NSArray *)toolbarDefaultItemIdentifiers:(NSToolbar *)toolbar are getting called. I need to adjust (restrict) the allowed items under certain circumstances and there's no other way to do that. Of course I spoke too soon. It is called, but it doesn't seem to change what NSToolbar is doing. It is called when I open the toolbar customization, but even though I return a restricted set of identifiers, it still presents all items that were set up in IB, not the reduced set of items as it's supposed to present. So the question is: How do I remove an item with a given identifier in such a way that it does not appear in the customization, neither is single item nor as part of the default toolbar configuration.

Re: NSToolbar delegate -toolbarAllowedItemIdentifiers:
I’ve never used -toolbarAllowedItemIdentifiers:. However, its documentation
states…
Sent to discover the allowed item identifiers for a toolbar.”
Wonderful :)) There is no indication of who sends it, when, nor what is done
with the result. The “Discussion” is no more enlightening either. Therefore I
have no idea what the purpose of this method is. Apparently, based on your
results, its purpose is not your purpose.

Here is how I remove toolbar items that are present in nibs…
NSInteger someToolbarItemIndex = [[toolbar items]
indexOfObject:someToolbarItem] ;
if ((someToolbarItemIndex = 0 ) (someToolbarItemIndex [[toolbar items]
count]))
{
[toolbar removeItemAtIndex:settingsToolbarItemIndex] ;
}
where ‘toolbar’ and ‘someToolbarItem’ are outlets, connected in the nib. So a
disadvantage of my method is that you need an outlet for any removable toolbar
item. But I have only have one, and it works for me.
in the customization, neither is single item nor as part of the default
toolbar configuration.
I hope that clause was not important because I don’t understand it.

It is important, I'm afraid. Removing the items from the toolbar is not a
problem. However, I can't get the toolbar to remove them from the customization
sheet.
I thought the whole point of telling the toolbar which of the items are allowed
is that those items will not be shown them during customization (or anywhere
else). The -toolbarAllowedItemIdentifiers: delegate method is called at the
beginning of the customization (before the sheet comes up), that's a hint that
it's used for a purpose that has to do with customization. But apparently its
result is ignored because items that are disallowed (by not returning them in
this delegate method) are still visible.

Markus
