If you ***must*** do this to your interface, there's no supported / remotely easy way to draw the menu bar into the window. HOWEVER, you could draw your main menu bar (probably best to do this with a custom view), then handle the mouse clicks to pop up the appropriate NSMenu instances for each rectangle that defines your menus in their collapsed state.


  ... if that makes sense.

Another HOWEVER: Don't do this. This atrocious UI design will mark your application as amateurish and Mac users in general are squeamish around amateurish-looking apps.

OK, now that we have the question out of the way, I need a way to put a menubar into a window in a cocoa application. Any pointers?
