Hi all,
@Jon
Thanks! I just tried UIToolBar, it's exactly what I wanted.
@Fritz
Sorry, I came from Qt world, I'm getting myself familiarised with the
UI Control terms .. I'll use the right terms next time
I meant iOS but I thought these UI Controls are available in both OSX
and iOS so I didn't mention it .. I'll be clear about that next time.
P.S I also tried NSSegmentedControl as you suggested, but UIToolBar
looks more like it

You mean “control.” Jonathan Hull just suggested the UIToolbar family, which is an excellent suggestion. I wrote this assuming you were asking about OS X. Because you hadn’t said otherwise. The fundamentals about what’s available, what has to be custom made, and how to ask questions are the same.)

Buttons exist. You can have five of them. You can put them anywhere, singly or together. That is common.
