To group NSToolbarItems, they need to be grouped into a custom view
before hand and provided as a single NSToolbarItem. If you look in
how Mail.app is done in Tiger, it has both grouped and separated
versions of its buttons to choose from.
If that's not what you had in mind, or if after doing the above you
still find yourself overflowing outside of the window, you can
perform dynamic toolbar item triage with NSToolbarItem's -
setVisibilityPriority:. With it, you can tell your toolbar which
items will overflow first, regardless of what order the items are
sorted into. Visibility priorities are new to Tiger however, so doing
so would at worst break compatibility with previous versions of OS X
and at best result in differing user experiences.
NSToolbarItem's -setVisibilityPriority:

I hope that helps,
Justin

Hi All,
I have a toolbar and on placing the items in it at runtime
(NSToolbar) the toolbar items are exceeding the length of the
window and the items appear after clicking on the extending arrow.
It is possible to group similar tools so that they appear in a
combo box or can u please suggest something!
