I've been looking at this apple document:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/Controls/Controls.html
In the Window-Frame Controls section it deescribes
window-frame controls in the Mail toolbar
(source: apple.com)
However, there's no description on how to actually create this interface. I've tried using NSToolBar but it doesn't seem to be used for this purpose and there doesn't seem to be a way to drag a NSButton into this area in InterfaceBuilder.
Any pointers on how to create this type of toolbar?
Drag object Toolbar from Object Library to you window. Double click on toolbar. Drag button from the Object library into the Allowed Toolbar Item section. 1-click on button in toolbar manage attributes toolbar item section, double click manage button attributes. Connect action with your new toolbar item.

Hi does anybody knows if I can make a button in Xamarin Forms that opens a small dropdown menu? I did this in android studio but I can't find a way how this could work in Xamarin.
It should look like this:
And like this if the button is clicked:
And the Button should not be in the navigation bar because this page don't have one.
So if anybody could help me I would be very grateful and sorry for my bad english.
The closest API in Xamarin that does that is to display a pop-up using DisplayActionSheet, but the dropdown menu will be at the bottom of the screen. Or you can use a Picker (link to documentation).
If you want to implement something that look exactly like the image in your post, you can create a StackLayout that contains a few buttons, and show it when the drop down menu button is clicked.
i think that you can do it not directly but if we let some things be together we can achieve it, you have to add toolbar item for the button and for the menu list it's a popup page that has transparent background and list menu on the top right !
Can I create a tab view in toolbar like the app Photos (Yosemite)? I want only a segmented buttons, without images.
I have tried to set the style of TabView Controller into 'Toolbar', but it creates also images.
You want to use a NSSegmentedControl for that. That will give you the buttons without the tab view
I am trying to get the below effect in OS X.
I found out the first step is to create a custom toolbar, then hide the window title.
I have managed to hide the window title but I am new to OS X development so I am not sure how to create a custom toolbar.
Here is the effect I am trying to create (toolbar with a search field and maybe some buttons).
You can easily customize the toolbar in Interface Builder. Click on the toolbar that you have dragged into the window. Now you can remove all the items in there and add the ones you would like to have. You can add anything from TextFields, Buttons to custom views.
Add items by dragging them from the object library into the "Allowed Toolbar Items" section. From there, drag them into the "Default Toolbar Items" section. Otherwise the control will be available to the user, but not in the toolbar until he customizes it.
You can align the controls by using the space and flexible space objects that can be found in the objects library of Xcode.
Aligning the controls works via drag and drop.
To center controls, simply add flexible spaces to the left and right of the control.
Is there is a NSToolbar trick to integrate a add ("+") button in the right lower toolbar corner like Safari does it?
That's an NSTitlebarAccessoryViewController with a layoutAttribute of .Right.
You can configure it with a view (e.g. the plus button view), and add the view controller to the window with window.addTitlebarAccessoryViewController(NSTitlebarAccessoryViewController)
I wonder if anyone knows how to get this "Lion-style" toolbar items like we can see in Apple Mail application? Are they all custom or can be found anywhere? They are surely not present in IB.
Or are they just styled buttons and segmented controls?
The "Lion-Style" toolbar items would appear to be just Rounded Textured buttons with the image and alternate image set. You can drag these buttons directly from the IB library to your toolbar.
