Now that you point this out it seems like the answer … sometimes we need a 'head slap'.
I already use [NSSplitViewDelegate splitView:additionalEffectiveRectOfDividerAtIndex:] to add a rectangle to a vertical splitter tracking area. So it would be …. 1. Add a view configured as desired to the horz split view just below the splitter 2. Use thin splitter 3. Using [NSSplitViewDelegate splitView:additionalEffectiveRectOfDividerAtIndex:] specify splitter tracking to the left and right of the controls in the center (not sure of this ..how to return a disconnected rect) Thanks Graham. -koko On Jan 4, 2013, at 5:09 PM, Graham Cox wrote: > > On 05/01/2013, at 12:16 AM, koko <k...@highrolls.net> wrote: > >> I am currently drawing a custom divider via -drawDividerInRect but want to >> improve this and am not sure of the proper approach. >> >> I would like to draw a divider similar to that in the Xcode Utilities view >> which has the four buttons for Template, Code, Object and Media Libraries. >> >> This divider is interesting in that with the cursor over the divider and not >> a button it is the pane splitter and cursor and over a button it is the >> arrow. >> >> How is this divider created and drawn … ? > > > I don't know how it's implemented, but my guess would be that it isn't a > custom divider at all. > > NSplitView allows you, via its delegate, to specify a region that *acts* like > the divider, even if it isn't.
