I realize NSDatePciker arrived with Tiger and there's at least a few requested modifications, but I was wondering if anyone could brainstorm a solutions to this problem:

Currently, NSDatepicker can only return one highlighted date. If there a way to convince it to highlight multiple dates? For instance, if given a dictionary/array/etc of dates: 2005-07-12, 2005-07-15,2005-08-01... it will give some indication that those dates are highlighted.

An NSDatePicker instance can presently only have a single NSDate value.

Can this be done by overlaying some type of grid above the control? Can the control give coordinates of a date, or would such a solution require I programatically determine the position of a date?

There currently isn't any API facility for determining the position of a day in the calendar grid. (That would be nice to have in the future, I suppose.)


The grid -is- regular, so you could figure out its layout metrics empirically and do your own overlay drawing in a subclass of NSDatePickerCell if you wanted to, but note that the current metrics may be subject to change in the future.
