Re: how to add a custom view (a pair of controls) to an NSToolbar in Interface Builder
Rua, This won't work with an instance of the custom view in the toolbar. A workaround would be to use a borderless (Custom / No Border) NSBox instead of a custom view. This is probably the most straightforward fix.

Re: how to add a custom view (a pair of controls) to an NSToolbar in Interface Builder
Any suggestions on how to do this? I simply want to use a bunch of controls, grouped via a custom view, in a toolbar, such that the controls form a single toolbar item (for add/remove), but the individual controls respond to mouse, draw, etc as normal. Is this not possible? thanks Rua HM. On 18/11/2010, at 12:44 PM, Rua Haszard Morris wrote: I would like to add an item to my window's toolbar that is a custom view containing other standard views. For example a popup button and a static text field. If possible I would like to do this in interface builder, without implementing NSToolbarDelegate. So to clarify..

I want to put a popup button and static text on the toolbar as a single item - I want them to be removeable/addable as a pair, and I want full control over their layout within the toolbar item.
