Quincey,


Now, that's the kind of answer I needed, even if it doesn't really get me where I want! At least, it stops me from pursuing something too difficult, impossible or undesirable.

I am sure a lot of people think it is a NSSegmentedControl. Is there a way to know this for sure? I mean, you seem to really know it, but how did you do?

For now, I am going the "cheap trick" route and using spaces to make it look like multiple labels, as advised by Brian Postow. That's what I did in the first design and I can live with that.

I'll research about NSToolbarItemGroups some other day and post the results here. I have things to get done now. ;)

Thanks everybody for the help (or for trying)!


Cheers,
