Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the valuable resources.

I will be investigating HIView and report back any success.

Best,
Pierre

- What was the pre-Leopard way of doing this? I remember something about going down to Carbon, but can't find much information on the web.

I don't know how Leopard implements the Help search item, but the "StarMenu" sample code came to mind. It seems it's been removed from /Developer/Examples/ in Leopard; perhaps there's a reason for this? Anyway, it's here: <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/StarMenu/ >

The Carbon HIView docs have some information, too: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/HIViewDoc/HIView_tasks/chapter_3_section_12.html >

Presumably you've already seen this: <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/MenuItemView/ >
I just tried moving the button to the top of its view, and there are still a few pixels of border.

If you do have to use Carbon for this, you might be able to use some code from <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/HIView-NSView/> to still be able to use an NSView up there.
