I'd like to create a preference window for my application in the
style of the regular mac os apps, such as itunes, i.e. a window
with a toolbar that contains various items.
the items are highlighted in grey when selected.
I've created an nstoolbar an added six items along with their images.
I haven't found a method neither in NSToolbar nor in NSToolbarItem
that does the grey highlighting when an item is selected. how can
this be achieved ?
Look at selectedItemIdentifiers or whatever it was called.
+ for each toolbar item I'm displaying a different view. the best
approach would probably be to have a seperate nibfile for the prefs
window and for each displayed preference item. what would then be
the best way to implement this ? I have an nswindowcontroller for
the prefs window. how would I load the other windows then
(depending on the item selection), such as the window that's
dsiplayed for "Advanced" or "General".
Don't use separate windows. Just show/hide the views in one window.
Look at NSNibLoading on how to actually load a NIB file.
An alternative approach would be to use a tab view. That way, you
can set up all your preferences in one NIB file. An NSTabView can be
set up to have no tabs and no border, in which case it'll be
invisible and you can use the toolbar to control it.
