If you want it to look exactly the same, you have some work cut out for
you...
The way I would approach this functionality is with a borderless
pulldown NSPopUpButton that uses the TextAndImageCell class from
"/Developer/Examples/AppKit/DragNDropOutlineView/" for its menu items.
I think menus use cells, but I'm not certain; someone else can correct
me on this one.
Otherwise, you're going to have to create a bunch of custom classes to
deal with the presentation of the popup view, mouse-overs, selection
bezels... ugh. Apple probably has their own APIs for some of this
stuff, so it's easier for them, but it's a lot of work for the rest of
us.

I would like to implement a popup menu located in the right end of an
NSTextField just like iChat has for picking a smiley face. Since I'm
new to Cocoa, I'm not sure how to go about this, and would appreciate
a pointer on the right way to do this.
