Solved cocoa controls osx-lion nssearchfield

Is there a standard control for developers to get the search field behavior like in Mail (Mac OS X 10.7) to make advanced searches with tokens?

In Mail the tokens are used to visualize a search for a mail which for example was sent by a person with the name "Steve Jobs". I try to accomplish the same but in another context.

What your looking for is called a token field. See the Token Field Programming Guide. (Also documented on the CocoaDev Wiki)

Then how does what you want differ from what is described in that programming guide? That might help people better answer your question... – Witticism 27/12, 2011 at 14:55

While reading into the token field programming guide, I discovered that I can make a miked token field with tokens and plain text, that's probably the easiest way to do it. Thanks – Wrigley 28/12, 2011 at 12:52

Are there any open source projects that allow you to add advanced tokens to a search field? Like this one bit.ly/u5xo1X – Pyrenees 2/1, 2012 at 2:50

@Pyrenees I'm looking for the same, but couldn't find anything useful. Maybe you have to subclass NSTokenFieldCell, and implement the functionality on your own. – Wrigley 8/1, 2012 at 11:3

@Wrigley Did you ever find anything? – Oestradiol 10/12, 2012 at 12:1
