Dear cocoa list,

However, I just hit a big stumbling block.

My background is Carbon, and as such, I've been used to having a date

control, like what you can see in System Preferences. Basically, 3

text fields + an NSStepper on the end. I guess I should've researched

But here's the thing - I really, really need it. And I want to put it

in an NSCell.

date.

Might look something like this:

Some text: ________________

Some popup: Popup choice 1

Some date: 10 / 15 / 2004

I figured out how to put the first two choices into an NSTableView,

thanks to recent advice offered on this list. But I forgot about the

date part. I'd really like to use a date control, as this

functionality matches what I'm doing in other apps my company makes.

So, assuming this control doesn't exist in Cocoa, I have two

questions:

1) How can I create something like this from scratch (or does this

exist already) and embed it into an NSCell?

2) How hard is it to add a Carbon control into a Cocoa window? And in

this case, an NSCell? Is it even feasible?

Thanks in advance for any help.
