My humble apologies to you, Brad - I should've looked up the
"previous posting" I mentioned in my previous post before posting.
Fredrik Olsson was the one who recently posted about this (today,
even). I assumed (given the lack of details of your difficulty) it
was a continuation of that previous post.
Perhaps your problem is different? If so, as Shawn asked, what
specific problems are you having?

I have been working on one aspect of this "simple" project for
months now. Literally MONTHS! I want to replicate the "To:" token
field behavior as it is done in Mail.app. I want to be able to type
a person's name, first name first --or-- last name first, --or--
type in a company name and have a menu of all available matches
displayed and narrowed down as typing continues. I first approached
this using AppleScript Studio as that is where I've been most
comfortable for years. I discovered that I needed to use
NSTokenFields. AppleScript Studio doesn't directly support token
fields. So I decided this was a perfect opportunity/reason to learn
Objective-C/Cocoa. I now have a good (not great) grasp of writing
obj-c code. I "live" in the documentation. I've gotten pretty good
at finding what I need to accomplish the task at hand. Yet, I still
haven't been able to replicate the behavior want. Currently I have
2 classes, a dozen or so methods involved, arrays, mutable arrays,
sets, mutable sets, strings, booleans, monkeys at typewriters,
poodles in tutus and even a kitchen sink involved. And I still
haven't accomplished my goal! Either I'm making this MUCH harder
than it should be or the Address Book framework sucks! (It's also
possible that I'm a moron, but I'm going to withhold judgement on
that for now. lol);
Thank you, I feel MUCH better;

Is trying to replicate Mail.app's "To:" token field really as
difficult as it has proven itself to be to me or am I missing
something really basic here?;
