Thanks a lot! I love being directed to sample code =)
The thing is, I'm hoping to implement floating toolbars. We have many, many functions we want the user to be able to access quickly, and a toolbar within the window would be good for perhaps font settings etc. but there simply wouldn't be enough room in the main window.......
However, if a window consisted only of an NSToolbar, maybe that would work. I'll do some research on this today. The issue remains about communication between objects in separate .nib files.

Is there a reason why you can't just use NSToolbar?
