How has everyone else built their drawer-based apps?  With code?

By heavily modifying NSDrawer, its underlying private classes, and NSWindow.


Since 2001, I've filed numerous bugs, written demo app's which illustrate the problems, all to no avail: "Behaves Correctly", or "Can't Reproduce", even with the demo app?!! Toolbar disclosure is still a problem, as you mention, but I've long-since managed fixed- height drawers nicely (ie workaround-city), and developed a very cool custom drawer-toggle button control, which (as a pre-Tiger Cocoa bug workaround) forwards key equiv's to the drawer window.

All of this would have bene easier to implement as a new class, if they'd exposed the child window API of NSWindow earlier on. ;)
