There's no way, AFAIK, to embed the Open or Save dialog into a window of
yours.
OTOH, there are ways to extend the Open and Save dialogs to insert your
own items. This is probably the closest you can get. Sadly, I don't know
how to extend them using Cocoa :( When I looked at the docs, I didn't
see anything.
In Carbon, here's what you'd do:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ProvidingNavigationDialogs/nsx_tasks/chapter_3_section_8.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001147-CH203-BABFIHEE
Unfortunately, it requires that you use Carbon HIViews, which don't work
the same way as Cocoa NSViews. They are a bit more finicky to write code
for. (They look and feel the same to an end user, though.)

Hi,
I want to implement a simple file system browser into my application,
which basically mirrors exactly the behaviour of a standard "Open
dialogue", including sidebar and all. It will need to be part of my
main-window though, so I can't just use the Open dialogue. Will I have
to code that myself, or is there some pre-defined object I could use?
Sorry, yes, I'm just starting with Cocoa. :)
Chrs,
Dav
