Hi!
I would like to replicate the accessory views found in the top right
of window title bars. Examples include Coda, iCal, Safari,...
How can I add subviews to the window's title bar?

Greetings, Pierre,
I think that what you're referring to is the toolbar (class
NSToolbar), as I don't see anything besides that at the top of my iCal
or Safari windows. (On Leopard, the Unified Title/Toolbar setting in
Interface Builder, or through code, makes the title bar, which is
actually separate, look connected to the toolbar.)
If you can afford to target Leopard-only and are willing to put up
with a slightly buggy interface, you can use Interface Builder to set
up the toolbar in the window itself and store it in the nib or xib
that way. Otherwise, if for whatever reason that won't work for you*,
you may wish to use a toolbar delegate to handle the configuration of
the toolbar. The docs have much more info, as well as "dos" and
"dont's" of toolbars (for instance: anything in a toolbar, last I
checked, should have a menu item equivalent; thus if you have a Reset
button or a Send button or whatnot in your toolbar, there should be a
Reset or Send menu item, accessible from the menu bar). Hope this
helps!
* Selectable toolbar items are one example of why the Interface
Builder approach may no work for you -- such items are not currently
configurable in IB. (They're the sort of item used in the iTunes
preferences window, where they act like push-buttons of which only one
can be selected at a time.)
Cheers,
Andrew
