that sounds like a good approach.
The trouble with this is if you want your different preference views
to have different sizes as in iTunes.
Look at selectedItemIdentifiers or whatever it was called.
this is only for setting or retrieving the selected item
prgrammatically. what I want to do his highlight an item when it is
selected (as done in itunes prefs).
does anyone how to do this ?
That's what setSelectedItemIdentifier is for ;)
thanks,

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 ?

+ 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.

can set up all your preferences in one NIB file. An NSTabView can
