I've looked into this too, and haven't found an answer yet. According to this article, Xcode used to use a floating window trick: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6169255/is-it-possible-to-draw-in-the-label-area-of-nstoolbar ..but it doesn't anymore. Also note that Instruments has a full-height toolbar item, and that toolbar is fully customizable, so whatever tricks they're using they were able to make it behave like a normal toolbar item - cmd-draggable, in customize sheet, etc. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
