The Address Book edit mode is entirely based on public APIs o the Cocoa
Text System and some CG calls for the shadows. It is not trivial but
can be done by anybody with good enough knowledge of the Cocoa Text
System. We don't have plan right now to publish any of the address book
source code.

I'm intrigued by the way Address Book fields behave in Edit mode. The
way, for example, their length changes as you type, causing fields
that follow to shift their horizontal position. Also, the way the
field "name" appears in light gray, unless it you type something into
it, in which case the text becomes black.
It seems to me that this Edit mode field "style" (for lack of a better
word) would be highly useful in many applications. So I guess, I
really have three concrete questions:
1. Is there an API available that would make this field behavior
available to developers?
2. If not, can anyone provide me with some good pointers as to how one
might go about accomplishing the same behavior using the Cocoa
frameworks?
3. If anyone from Apple reads this, would they be willing to share
source code or post an example of how this might be accomplished?
Thank you.
